Chinese Rover Spots Cube-Shaped "Mystery House" On Moon

The Yutu-2 rover is part of the Chinese Chang'e 4 mission to the Moon

A strange-looking, cube-shaped object, spotted on the surface of the Moon by China's Yutu-2 moon rover, has become the subject of much speculation on social media. The object was seen in photos released by China's space agency last week. According to Space.com, the rover spotted the object as it made its way across the Von Karman crater on the far side of the Moon. So yeah, it's not an obelisk or aliens, but certainly something to check out, and hard to discern much from the image. 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.

ALIENS! Just an alien outpost, no big deal

The Yutu-2 rover is part of the Chinese Chang'e 4 mission to the Moon. It has been exploring the far side of the Moon since 2019. 

Andrew Jones, a journalist for Space.com, highlighted the unusual sighting in a series of tweets shared Friday. "Image of a cubic shape on the northern horizon - 80m away from the rover in Von Karman crater," he wrote. 

"it's not an obelisk or aliens, but certainly something to check out," he added in a follow-up tweet.
