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.
