The Chinese Lunar probe and rover that recently made its way to the Moon has discovered a new Milestone rock that stands out in the Far Side of the Moon, also known as the unseen and dark part. The rock was believed to be a contribution of multiple meteor impacts upon the surface, forming a new object that researchers consider unusual.

The lunar outpost will be a pit stop to the moon.
The Yutu 2 rover that came from the latest mission of the Chinese National Space Agency (CNSA) found a strange-looking rock, which has a sharp surface that sticks out and was formed by meteor impacts. Researchers were baffled by the Milestone rock because of its unusual shape, which the rover has discovered on its 14-day lunar night experience.
