China’s Yutu-2 lunar rover went northwest, traveling toward an area with basalt and an impact crater area with high reflectivity on the 23rd lunar day – single lunar day is equal to 14 Earth days. Its near-infrared spectrometer on the rover was used to detect a rock about 30 cm in diameter. To date, the rover has survived 660 Earth days on the far side of the moon, and the rover has traveled 1,856-feet. Read more for a video and additional information.



Scientists conducted the first systematically documented measurements of radiation on the moon with data acquired by the neutron radiation detector onboard. They discovered that the moon’s surface is highly radioactive, or approximately 2-3 times the International Space Station, 5-10 times a civil flight and 300 times the surface of the earth from Beijing.
