A rover dubbed Yutu-2—or Jade Rabbit, the name of the moon goddess's pet—successfully separated from the lander and drove onto the moon's surface about eight hours after landing.

The mission sent the first panoramic image of its landing site Friday, showing the grey moonscape it is exploring and the track marks left by the rover in the lunar soil.
