Anomalous, angular feature spotted in the distance

The Chang’e Lunar Exploration Program’s first rover is exploring the dark side of the moon, the first such venture to do so.

While its lunar rover, Yutu 2, was meandering a particularly crater-ridden area, its cameras picked up on something unusual in the distance.
The moon’s landscape has gently rounded features on both the bright and dark sides, but this anomaly seen sticking up off the horizon line was angular, ctvnews.com writes. China’s scientists at the controls called it the “mysterious hut,” according to the Chinese National Space Administration’s Our Space website.
The CNSA determined their “hut” was 80 metres away from Yutu 2, and set up a plan to get the rover closer to get a better look. It will take a couple of months to reach the protuberance, which could simply be a rocky outcrop.
People on social media immediately began hypothesizing that the feature was a monolith like that found on the moon in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey. In it, a non-human-built monolith machine indicates the presence of early intelligence — possibly four million years earlier than that of Earth’s, and that more than one of them existed.
The film isn’t the only pop culture reference that could be attached to the sighting, but we haven’t yet heard from Pink Floyd.
