China's Chang'e-4 lunar rover, which is exploring the dark side of the moon, will measure the freezing night temperature, scientists said on Sunday.

A rover dubbed Yutu-2 -- the name of the moon goddess's pet, the 'Jade Rabbit' -- successfully separated from the lander and drove onto the moon's surface Thursday.

A Chinese lunar rover has driven on the far side of the moon, the national space agency announced on Friday, hailing the development as a "big step for the Chinese people".

Previous spacecraft have seen the far side of the moon, that is never visible from earth, but none has landed on it.
