Chinese spacecraft Yutu 2 has discovered a mystery hut in a remote area of ??the moon. The spacecraft has sent images of the hut to the space agency, in which a square object can be seen in the dark part of the moon.
Chinese spacecraft Yutu 2 encountered the cube-shaped object while driving across the Von Kármán crater last month during the mission’s 36th lunar day, according to a post published on “Our Space” — a Chinese media channel affiliated with the China National Space Administration — Space.com reported.
Space.com pointed out that “mystery hut” is used as a placeholder name based on its appearance — it is not literally a hut. The site also offered a possible explanation for the object’s true origin: It could be a large boulder that was “excavated by an impact event.”
Experts say that what is considered a hut can be a large rock or a piece of large rock. China launched a spacecraft three years ago to find out information about the distant and dark parts of the moon.
“Scientifically, the rock could be interesting, and I expect it or nearby rocks on the crater rim to be studied in detail when they reach it early in 2022. But it won’t look like a hut”, Space.com reported him saying.
