Last week, China hurled a Long March
rocket toward the moon. The rocket is carrying a vehicle that was
called Jade Rabbit that, if all goes according to plan, will land on
the surface of the moon around December 14th. The last
time any object blasted off from earth landed on the surface of the
moon was way back in 1976, when the Russians undertook the Luna 24
mission.
Jade Rabbit, pronounced Yùtù in
Chinese, is a gold foil covered buggy that has six wheels and is
clustered with instruments. Included are soil samplers, telescopes
for examining ultraviolet light from distant stars. The remote lunar
buggy will also transmit images taken of Earth back to its home
planets.
