In ancient Chinese stories, the moon is home to Chang'e and her pet rabbit Yutu. Now, Chang'e and Yutu are really there!
On Dec. 2, 2013, the Chang'e-3 lunar probe（月球探测器）took off from Sichuan, China. On Dec. 14, 2013, it landed successfully on the moon. Several hours later, Yutu, China's first moon rover（月球车）, "walked" out of the probe and onto the moon.
Yutu is a big robot that weighs 140 kg. It is about 1.5 meters long and 1.1 meters tall. It has six wheels and travels at 200 meters per hour.
There are cameras on both Yutu and Chang'e-3. They can take pictures of each other. That's how Yutu got is first picture on the moon.
Yutu and Chang'e-3 will explore（探索）the moon.
Yutu can walk around and work for three months. It can look for natural resources（资源）on the moon. Chang'e-3 can work at the landing site for one year and it can watch the space from the moon.
They both get energy from the sun. So they "get up" to work when the sun rises, and "go to sleep" at night.
China is now the third country in the world to soft-land on the moon after the US and the former Soviet Union.
Also, China is planning to send its Chang'e-5 lunar probe around 2017. The probe will fly back to the Earth and bring natural resources from the moon.
When will China fly a human to the moon? There's no plan yet. But the door is now open.
