Explanation:
Tracks lead to a small robot perched
near the top of this bright little planet.
Of course, the planet is really the Moon.
The robot is the desk-sized Yutu rover, leaving its
looming Chang'e 3 lander after a
after a mid-December 2013 touch down in
the northern Mare Imbrium.
The little planet projection is a digitally warped and stitched
mosaic of images from the
lander's terrain camera
covering 360 by 180 degrees.
Ultimately traveling over 100 meters, Yutu came to a halt in January 2014.
The lander's instruments
are still working though, after more than two years on the
lunar surface.
Meanwhile, an interactive panoramic version of this little planet
is available here.
