The revelation came as the lunar rover drove closer to the formation that was once believed to be as tall as Paris' Arc de Triomphe, according to a post published Friday on"Our Space," a Chinese media channel affiliated with the China National Space Administration. Instead, it was much smaller and had a peculiar shape. Upon a closer view, the rock looked like a"jade rabbit" holding carrots, the post said.
China's Yutu 2 rover drove to the"mystery hut" and uncovered what it actually is – a rock shaped like a rabbit. "The Moon's surface is 38 million square kilometres of rocks, so it would have been astronomically exceptional for it to be anything else," Space News journalist Andrew Jones."But while small, the jade rabbit/玉兔 rock will also be a monumental disappointment to some.
Oh, this is amazing. Close to tears. Ourspace has published an update on the"mystery hut" and it's so underwhelming it's brilliant. It's just a small rock on a crater rim that they're now calling"jade rabbit" for its appearance. Source:
