The lunar surface from Yutu
The lunar surface from Yutu A photo of the lunar surface taken by the Yutu rover some time during its second lunar day, before it lost the ability to move. According to Phil Stooke the photo "shows the rocky wall of the crater west of the lander, probably the southern part of its western wall. It was taken from somewhere near the Dragon Rock."
