In a spectacular few days for solar system exploration—during which NASA whizzed the New Horizons spacecraft past the Kuiper Belt object 2009 MU69 (somewhat controversially nicknamed “Ultima Thule”) and eased OSIRIS-REx into orbit about the asteroid Bennu—the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA) has set its Chang'e-4 lander and rover down on the far side of the moon.
Chang'e is the name of the Chinese moon goddess—and Chang'e-4 builds on the success of the Chang'e-3 lander, which touched down on the moon in December 2013.
