China’s Yutu 2 rover has spotted a mystery object on the horizon while working its way across Von Kármán crater on the far side of the moon.

Yutu 2 spotted a cube-shaped object on the horizon to the north and roughly 260 feet (80 meters) away in November during the mission's 36th lunar day, according to a Yutu 2 diary published by Our Space, a Chinese language science outreach channel affiliated with the China National Space Administration (CNSA).

It's likely a large boulder excavated by an ancient lunar impact.

Too bad it probably isn't some sort of ancient artefact.

This is cool, is there a live feed to follow? Since they announced they going I’ve been wanting to follow it.

It’s a giant magnet that keeps the moon from spinning.

Probably just a rock.

Could also be scrap from previous missions. Let's see what it actually is first.

Just ask Elon to go check it out ...

Probably a South African putting up the first shack on the moon. Soon there will be a satellite dish on the roof.

How sure are we that those pictures weren’t taken somewhere in Area 52?

Why have him travel all the way out there when the Chinese are so much closer?
