Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>In January 2019, China became the first nation to land a rover on the far side of the Moon. Over the past three years, the space exploration vehicle has conducted more than a dozen tests and made several exciting discoveries.<\/p>\n

China’s Yutu-2 rover will study a mysterious cube-shaped object that it previously discovered on the Moon, Andrew Jones, a journalist, who has been covering Beijing\u2019s space programme for several years, wrote on his social media. On 3 December, he posted pictures captured by the rover in the Von K\u00e1rm\u00e1n crater on the far side of the Moon. One of them shows a bizarre object that Chinese astronomers have dubbed a “mystery house”.<\/p>\n

The journalist jokingly wrote that the object is not the black monolith seen in Stanley Kubrick\u2019s iconic film “2001: A Space Odyssey” or the work of aliens. The rover will get closer to the mysterious object in order to study it, Mr Jones wrote.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time that the lunar rover has made enigmatic discoveries. In February 2019, a month after it landed on the Moon, Yutu-2 has stumbled upon a mysterious gel-like substance, which Chinese astronomers suspect appeared as a result of the impact of meteorites on the lunar surface.<\/p>\n

The Yutu-2 rover and Chang’e-4 lander are now into their 37th lunar day of activities. They have already measured the chemical composition of lunar rocks and soils, carried out low-frequency radio astronomical observations using a radio telescope, as well as studied cosmic rays. In addition, the space exploration vehicles will study the evolution of coronal mass ejections between the Sun and the Earth.<\/p>\n
