Update 07/01/22 : Yutu-2 has explored the " Mysterious House " on the far side of the Moon and expose that it was just a rock . No ancient monolith for us this prison term , sadly , but some very coolheaded pictorial matter .
Obviously , the aliens all built their houses on the far side of the Moon , beyond the gaze of our snoopiness telescopes . What they did n’t bank on , however , was a slight sojourn from China’sYutu-2rover , which has spotted an intriguing third power - influence aim on the lunar surface , discover as a “ mystery house ” by the China National Space Administration ( CNSA ) outreach channelOur Space .
In reality , the foreign blob is likely to be nothing more than a piece of Moon rock , although all will be revealed in the near future when Yutu-2 makes its agency over to the object for a closer flavor . For now , though , the CNSA seems to be savor its little joke , quip that the find may constitute “ a rest home build by aliens after wreck landing . ”
In January 2019 , Yutu-2 became thefirst probe everto land on the far side of the Moon and has been exploring and sending backincredible photosever since . For the preceding 36lunar day – or just under three Earth years – the scouter has provided data point from the Von Kármán crater , where it spotted the strange item on the northerly horizon last calendar month .
While it ’s impossible to flatly govern out the possibility of lunar real estate , most of the evidence suggests that the deep cube is in all probability just a large bowlder that was blasted into its current military position by a meteorite impact . Unlike Earth , the Moon lacks an ambience to protect it from quad rock music , which think of it is constantly being whop by hurtling piece of rubble – hence the teemingness ofimpact craterson its airfoil .
The strange physical object happens to be located close to several such volcanic crater , and Yutu-2 will now make a beeline towards it to confirm its identity . Despite being just 80 beat ( 260 feet ) away , the rover ’s advance is expected to take two to three lunar day ( two to three Earth calendar month ) , as the way is unreliable and riddled with obstacles .
In addition , the fact that Yutu-2 is solar powered stand for that it has to shut down completely during thelong lunar nights , thus adding to its journey metre considerably . Still , CNSA scientist are hopeful that the short yet unhurried tripper will be worth it , as a closer look at the John Rock could reveal worthful entropy about the constitution of Moon rock from beneath the lunar aerofoil .
Either that , or they ’ll reveal a business firm with a very unparalleled nada code .
