BEIJING -- The lander and rover of China's Chang'e 4 probe have begun their 28th lunar day of work on the far side of the moon.
Landing on the moon on Jan. 3, 2019, the Chang'e 4 probe has survived 795 Earth days on the moon, the Lunar Exploration and Space Program Center of the China National Space Administration said Monday.
A lunar day is equal to about 14 days on Earth, and a lunar night is of the same length. The solar-powered probe switches to dormant mode during the lunar night.
The rover Yutu 2, or Jade Rabbit 2, is currently located about 429 meters northwest of the landing site.
