China moon rover to investigate cube-shaped 'mystery house' object - CNET

That distant, somewhat cube-shaped object is the "mystery house" China's Yutu-2 rover is planning to take a closer look at.

The Yutu-2 rover is on a roll.

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.

The rover team is planning to drive over and get a closer look at the object.

China's rover is solar-powered, so it periodically goes into hibernation when it's dark and then gets back to work when the sun is out in the Von Karman crater
