It's the weekend. We're out of puns for now. Just have a gander at China's Moon lander and robo-sidekick snaps, videos

Pics and vid China's Chang’e lunar lander has beamed back its first pictures of the far side of the Moon.

Officials behind Beijing's Lunar and Deep Space Exploration Programme (CLEP) this week released a panoramic shot of the Von Kármán crater, taken by the lander, revealing a barren, pockmarked landscape littered with a few rocks here and there. In other words, the far side of the Moon, well, looks pretty similar to the near side.
