http://news.discovery.com/space/lunar-orbiter-spots-long-lost-russian-rover.html

View the detailed photo and the whole story by clicking on the following link:

"If you thought the marathon being run by NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity was impressive (the wheeled explorer has covered over 19 kilometers, or 12 miles, and still roving strong), spare a thought for the Russian Lunokhod 2 rover that explored the moon in 1973. It covered 37 kilometers (23 miles), holding the record for furthest distance traveled by a robot across an alien landscape.

"And now, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) -- with the help of a Canada-based researcher -- spotted the tracks made by the 840 kg (1,850 lb) Lunokhod 2, leading to the dead rover itself, next to a crater where it broke down after 4 months of hard moon driving."
