Rover Painting, Russian artist, ca. 1996
No, this isn’t a trash can on wheels. This is the Soviet rover Lunokhod 1, the first rover to land on any celestial body. Lunokhod landed on the Moon in November of 1970, and lasted 11 months, traveling more than 6 miles and sending back over 20,000 images. This hand-painted image is to commemorate the hearty rover.
