Japan’s lunar probe, Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM), has successfully survived its third freezing lunar night, despite not being designed to withstand such conditions. The lander has been providing images and data since landing on the moon in January, offering valuable insights into the lunar surface and the origin of the moon. SLIM’s continued operation is a significant achievement for Japan, demonstrating the country’s growing capabilities in space exploration.
