The image shows the distribution of ice on the surface of the Moon's South Pole (left) and North Pole (right), as observed by NASA's Lunar Mapper. The blue color represents the locations of the ice deposits, the gray color marks the surface temperature ( dark representing cold areas and light shades indicating warm areas). The ice is concentrated in the darkest and coldest places, on the crater floors. This is the first time that scientists have directly identified absolute evidence of water ice on the surface of the moon. Photo: NASA

Photo: CNSA/Chinanews/Ken Kremer/Marco Di Lorenzo. This is a time-lapse panoramic shot showing China's lunar robotic vehicle Yuto traversing the lunar surface in the first week after descending on its six wheels to the lunar plains. The image was compiled from stills broadcast by the Chinese Hal agency on Chinese-language websites. On January 25, a little over a month after these photos were taken, a malfunction was discovered in Yoto. Image courtesy of the universe today website
