Chinese Rover Spots Weird 'Cube' on the Moon, Plans to Take a Closer Look

China's Yutu-2 moon rover has spotted a weird cube-shaped object on the moon, and observers are stumped.

The finding was reported on Friday last week by Our Space, a Chinese social media channel associated with the China National Space Administration, according to Space.com.

In a blog post on WeChat, Our Space authors said the cube-shaped object, which they variously described as a "mysterious hut", an "obtrusive cube" and a "mysterious house", was stumbled upon by operators controlling the Yutu-2 rover while they were taking photos of the surrounding skyline.

A photo of the object was also published on the blog, which appears to show a small prominent square in the horizon. The cube was estimated to be around 80 meters away from the rover's location.

According to the blog, the Yutu-2 team are set to go and check it out, but are not expected to arrive at the cube for two to three months.

Yutu-2 has been operating ever since it was dropped off on the far side of the moon by the Chang'e 4 probe on January 3, 2019.

Private moon range.  It's just a target stand.

I hope it's another Stonehenge.

I've often joked that we're going one day to find the remains of previous human bases scattered throughout the solar system.

Igneous extrusion from a bolide impact.

Very similar to a terrestrial volcanic dike.

So they spent millions to go to the moon but they couldn’t afford to buy a good camera but instead installed a piece of Chinese crap on that thing?

I assume it's extremely magnified.

But any pictures of questionable supernatural or alien things are required to be blurry and/or pixilated.

One would think that with modern camera technology, a piece of hardware like a lunar rover would have some kickass cameras.

Even a Chinese one.
