China’s Yutu 2 lunar rover has photographed what is being described as a “mystery hut” on the far side of the moon, and Chinese scientists are eager to have the robotic exploration vehicle investigate it further.

The finding was shared on Our Space, an online publication affiliated with the China National Space Administration (CNSA) that is documenting Yutu’s lunar mission.

The photo shot by Yutu 2 shows that the cube-shaped object was about 80 meters (~260 feet) away on the horizon to the north in the 112-mile-wide (180km) Von Kármán impact crater.

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.

Despite being only 260 feet away, it will take the rover about 2 to 3 lunar days, or two to three months of “trekking” before it will reach the object to get a better look at it
