The Chinese space agency CNSA published photos of a "mysterious object" in the shape of a cube, which was taken by the rover "Yutu 2" on the Moon .

The recordings also appeared on the social network Twitter.

- We have an update from Yutu 2 on the lunar opposite side, including a cubic image on the northern horizon 80 meters away from the rover in Von Kármán crater. Named "Shén mì xiǎo wū" ("mysterious house"), the next 2-3 lunar days will be spent approaching to check it out - it was written in a post on Twitter.

Ah. We have an update from Yutu-2 on the lunar far side, including an image of a cubic shape on the northern horizon ~80m away from the rover in Von Kármán crater. Referred to as "神秘小屋" ("mystery house"), the next 2-3 lunar days will be spent getting closer to check it out. pic.twitter.com/LWPZoWN05I — Andrew Jones (@AJ_FI) December 3, 2021

Speculations have been raised on social media that the object is of unnatural origin, but as it is suspected for now, it is a rock or a remaining piece of an asteroid that hit the surface of the moon.

So yeah, it's not an obelisk or aliens, but certainly something to check out, and hard to discern much from the image. But large boulders (right) are sometimes excavated by impacts, as seen by the Chang'e-3 mission, which launched 8 years ago on Dec 1.

When the rover approaches, it will be clearer what it is about.
