Video: A Box on The Moon
What do you think this is? The Chinese are sending a Rover to the Moon to investigate…
The strange white box shaped object appears geometric against the stark black horizon in images and prompted scientists from China’s Change 4 mission to send its Yutu 2 rover on a two- to three-month journey to check it out.
There appears to be a small “baby” impact crater right beside the object.
Ah. 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. Referred to as "神秘小屋" ("mystery house"), the next 2-3 lunar days will be spent getting closer to check it out. pic.twitter.com/LWPZoWN05I Ah.

Upon its discovery, scientists could not wait to send the rover to investigate further, a months-long endeavor despite it being only about 262 feet away.
In July 2019, Yutu 2 made another unique discovery when it found a bizarre, colorful, “gel-like” substance ”with a mysterious luster.” The substance has not been explained.
