After a rough journey

After the 36th lunar day begins

The first challenge facing Yutu-2

It's complex terrain

The east side is dotted with large impact craters

Forming a C-shaped enclosure

The northwest is uplifted with a slope of up to 10°

A group of mountains with two impact craters

They will be "Yutu-2"

Firmly confined in the "cracks"

Although along the north-east direction

(shown by the red dotted line)

There seems to be hope for a breakthrough

But Yutu-2 also has some ideas about the subsequent route.

Slightly worried

From the contour map

Although the contour lines in the northeast are relatively sparse

But at the end of the field of vision, there is a tendency to close

Maybe it will still be a steep terrain

final

"Yutu-2" selected

A "hill climbing challenge"

Stopped at noon

at this time

Perceptual image display of the mid-moon point

Yutu-2 has reached a place

A location surrounded by slopes on three sides

No matter which direction you move

There is a possibility of the car sliding downhill.

Facing two large impact craters

The terrain behind the ridge is not clear yet

and steep slopes

Risks such as failure to complete hibernation

Comparative analysis of lunar situation maps

Found in the middle of the three impact craters due north

There is still an unknown area

After climbing north

"Yutu-2" finally breaks through the siege

Arrival at the sleeping point

Afterwards

After landing on the moon, Yutu-2

Look up and look around for the first time

A circular shot of the surrounding skyline

And zoom in on the ring picture

Appreciate it slowly, frame by frame

Sudden

A cube that stands out from the north skyline

It attracted the attention of Yutu-2.

The object pierces the winding skyline

The "mysterious hut" that seemed to appear out of nowhere

Next to it lies a large "juvenile" impact crater

Could that be the home the aliens built after their crash-landing?

Or is it the pioneering spacecraft for previous lunar explorations?

While eagerly

Go there to find out

Equivalent to about 28 days on Earth

A lunar day lasts about 14 days.
