NASA Images of Chang'e 3 Landing Site [NASA]

NASAの月探査機LROが月面に着陸した嫦娥3号とローバー玉兎を撮影したようです。

Chang'e 3 landed on Mare Imbrium (Sea of Rains) just east of a 450 m diameter impact crater on 14 December 2013. Soon after landing, a small rover named Yutu (or Jade Rabbit in English) was deployed and took its first tentative drive onto the airless regolith. At the time of the landing LRO's orbit was far from the landing site so images of the landing were not possible. Ten days later on 24 December, LRO approached the landing site, and LROC was able to acquire a series of six LROC Narrow Angle Camera ( NAC ) image pairs during the next 36 hours (19 orbits). The highest resolution image was possible when LRO was nearly overhead on 25 December 03:52:49 UT (24 December 22:52:49 EST). At this time LRO was at an altitude of ~150 km above the site, and the pixel size was 150 cm.

着陸時には軌道の関係で着陸地点から離れた経度を周回していたため、観測が行われたのは12月25日から。比較画像が公開されていますが、着陸機とローバーと思われる物体が見て取れます。LROの分解能はおよそ50cmですが、影が伸びて最も見やすい条件で撮影されたため小さいながらもはっきりと分かりますね。
