China Rover Discovers “Mystery Hut” On Dark Side Of Moon
Nation & State ^ | 12-7-2021

Posted on 12/07/2021 4:36:30 AM PST by blam

A Chinese rover traversing the Von Kármán crater on the far side of the Moon (the portion that faces away from Earth) has stumbled upon a “mystery hut,” according to Space.com, citing a report published by Our Space, a Chinese language science outreach channel affiliated with the China National Space Administration (CNSA).

Yutu 2 spotted the strange cube-shaped object about 262 feet away to the north. A zoomed-in image provides a closer view of the object.

The Chinese have called the cube-shaped object the “mystery hut.” The rover will take 2-3 lunar days (2-3 Earth months) to arrive at the object.

Ah. We have an update from Yutu-2 on the lunar far side, including an image of a cubic shape on the northern horizon ~80m away from the rover in Von Kármán crater. Referred to as “神秘小屋” (“mystery house”), the next 2-3 lunar days will be spent getting closer to check it out. pic.twitter.com/LWPZoWN05I

CNSA has shown strong interest in investigating this mystery object. There’s no definitive answer of what it could be. Some have speculated it’s a boulder from a meteor impact.

Twitter users joked it could be anything from a Mcdonald’s to a Moon Nazi base.

Just a matter of time before they built one there. pic.twitter.com/0McobbG9yy

The Yutu-2 began exploring the far side of the Moon in 2019. It’s part of China’s fourth mission to the Moon and the second one that involves a rover. Very little is known about the far side of the Moon, and space observes might have to wait a few months until an answer is found.

There is no dark side of the moon, really. As a matter of fact, it’s all dark.

The so-called dark side gets as much sun light as the not-dark side, as far as I know.

If that's the resolution of the photo from only 262 feet away then they need to upgrade from the Kodak instamatic plastic lens.

This FR thread has devolved into a “joke thread.” BUT, China’s technological and military capabilities are NO joke. They are a threat to America’s leadership and safety.

IF we had a legitimate national media, the Chinese Moon missions would be front page stuff. Instead we have . . . “Well you know the thing, man . . ..”
