'China says it has successfully landed an unmanned spacecraft on the moon, in what represents a major achievement for the country's space programme.
'On Saturday afternoon (GMT), a landing module underwent a powered descent, using thrusters to perform the first soft landing on the moon in 37 years.
'The touchdown took place on a flat plain called the Bay of Rainbows. The lander was carrying a robotic rover called Yutu, which translates as "Jade Rabbit". The rover rolled off onto the Moon's surface several hours after the landing.' (BBC News article).
