OMG you guys amazing high-res video of the Chang'e 3 lander descent to the lunar surface: news.cntv.cn/2013/12/15/VIDE138709268... #Change3

TV host: "It has to do with national prestige and technological prowess." Can't get more clear than that. #Change3

Just like Spirit & Opportunity, Yutu has Navcams and Pancams on mast. Pancams have 3x resolution of Navcams. #Change3

Checking in again at http://english.cntv.cn/live/ to see new pictures from the Moon! #ChangE3

It really is quite something to look up at the Moon tonight and know that there are two new robots exploring that dark splotch. #ChangE3

Landscape scene in this composite looks like it's from a science camera -- color looks better RT @XHNews http://t.co/Kt1T2Os0sp #ChangE3

If you look at the rover deploy video you'll see parts are from 4hrs, then 6hrs, then 8hrs after landing. #Change3
