A Japanese lunar lander has unexpectedly come back to life after the two-week lunar night. The Japanese space agency JAXA said Monday that it briefly received telemetry from the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) on Sunday. SLIM landed in January and was not expected to survive the two-week lunar night because it lacks systems to keep the spacecraft's electronics warm. JAXA said it hopes to carry out additional observations using SLIM's multiband spectroscopic camera before the sun sets again Thursday.
