speculates that the moon object is nothing more than a large boulder created by a meteor impact as there appears to be a impact crater nearby. It also only runs during the lunar day (14 Earth days), then sleeps for a lunar night (another 14 Earth days), which is why it will take so long for it to reach the object. Unfortunately, it only travels at an average speed of less than one meter, or about 3.3 feet, per Earth day. The rover has been traversing Von Karman crater making unique discoveries ever since. 3, 2019, the solar-powered Yutu 2 and Chang’e 4 lander were the first to ever land on the far side of the moon.

We should go investigate it,” scientists with the mission team reportedly said after the discovery, according to the South China Morning Post.
