Mystery ‘moon hut’ is actually an adorable rabbit-shaped rock

When China’s lunar rover first discovered it, the rock appeared cube-shaped.


A mysterious “moon hut” spotted by China’s lunar Yutu 2 rover is actually … an adorable rabbit-shaped rock.

The rock has been nicknamed “jade rabbit” by the Yutu 2 team, which announced its rover’s closer inspection of the object on Friday (Jan. 7). The nickname is apt, as the rover’s name, Yutu, also translates to “jade rabbit.”
