It could turn 2022 into something incredibly uplifting in this time of Delta, Omicron, and the invasion of Ukraine.

With the pandemic making 20 so dreary, humans need something like discovering alien life, to perk things up. Can you imagine how we Earthlings would react? We would lose our minds, in a good way. Though we know what to expect once the rover gets to the hut’s location, you know what we hope for? That it is indeed something created by intelligent life. The speed at which the rover travels means it won’t reach the hut for over two months. It is about 260 feet from where the rover is now. We won’t know for two or three months what the “hut” is ChangE-4, YuTu-2 | CNSA:Our SpaceĪs for the hut, Yutu 2 is headed for it. And let’s be clear, the entire surface of the Moon is most assuredly dirt and rock. So far, two out of two mysterious objects caught by the rover have turned out to rock. Those ended up being rocks shoveled out by an impact. Then this year it uncovered spikey objects sticking out of the Moon’s surface. It ended up being Rock fragments fused together from extreme heat, probably from an impact, is what it end. Gizmondo tells of a green, glistening gel-like substance observed by Yutu 2 in September 2019.

Especially highlighted against a black sky, it is the type of thing that could happen. Sometimes pixelization can randomly create these artifacts. With digital images, sometimes these artifacts appear. It will take the Yutu 2 rover 2-3 lunar days to get to the Mystery House. On December 3, China’s National Space Administration labeled a diary entry Mystery House. Could the image be an artifact? Yutu 2 shot of Mystery Hut | CNSA/Our Space China’s Yutu 2 rover has traveled the far side of Earth’s Moon since, January 3, 2019. Sometimes large boulders get pushed up to the surface from impacts according to him. ifOIFr4oQI- Andrew Jones December 3, 2021Ĭould it be some of the Moon’s surface “excavated by impacts?” That is what Andrew Jone, who covers China’s space program, tweeted. But large boulders (right) are sometimes excavated by impacts, as seen by the Chang'e-3 mission, which launched 8 years ago on Dec 1. So yeah, it's not an obelisk or aliens, but certainly something to check out, and hard to discern much from the image. Our Space wrote mission controllers observed “an obtrusive cube on the northern skyline that attracted their attention.” It postulates whether it might be a “pioneer spacecraft of predecessors to explore the Moon.” “Excavated by impacts” on the Moon And the six-wheeled Yutu 2 is headed for it. It’s sitting in the Von Kármán crater in the South Pole-Aitken Basin. If you’ve watched too much sci-fi, it looks like a hut to house aliens after crashing to the Moon. It is too square to be a rock, but that is what many think it is. Or, maybe it’s more intriguing? What is the “mysterious hut” seen on the Moon? Yutu 2 image from the Moon | CNSA/Our SpaceĬhina calls it a “mysterious hut,” because that is what it looks like. It is sending images back to earth, and one, in particular, looks strange. And it’s sitting on the far or dark side of the moon right now and has been since January 3, 2019. But because it relies heavily on solar power, it periodically goes into hibernation and resumes work when it reemerges.You know China sent a rover to the Moon, right? The mission is called Chang’e 4, and the rover is named Yutu 2. It should be noted that yutu-2 has so far traveled 840 meters (2,756 feet) above the surface of the moon. The Chang 'e-4 mission means an in-depth exploration of the far side of the moon, and the Yutu-2 rover is expected to help scientists gain insight into the geology beneath the surface there. The current best guess is that this part of the moon is littered with impact craters and is littered with large chunks of debris. Just as yutu-2 discovered a "gelatinous" substance in the crater back in 2019, you don't need to get too excited about the mission, as subsequent investigations revealed that the substance was actually glassy rock.įor Stanley & Middot For fans of Robert Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey,' those metal obelisks that were all the rage on Earth didn't travel through space either.Īs the rover approaches, the true nature of the object will become clearer.
YUTU 2 MYSTERY HOUSE SERIES
Andrew Jones, a journalist who covers China's space program for SpaceNews and, introduced the new mission to the mystery House object in a series of tweets on Friday. As part of a lunar lander launched during the Chang 'e-4 mission, it has now set its sights on a strange cube-shaped object spotted in the distance.

Since early 2019, Yutu-2 has been actively exploring the far side of the moon. Chinas Yutu 2 rover has spotted a mysterious object described as a 'hut' or 'house' on the far side of the moon, according to a recent log of the lunar rovers activities.
