this just out: http://phys.scichina.com:8083/sciGe/EN/abstract/abstract509416.shtml
it also includes a detailed route map for Yutu
Very nice! You can make out crater rim structures that have obviously been buried for millions, if not billions, of years. That's exactly what you'd expect to see, of course, but it is cool beyond description to actually see it.

wow! an amazingly detailed paper (Phil, that's for you!): http://phys.scichina.com:8083/sciGe/EN/abstract/abstract509496.shtml
Yes, that's great! Very interesting.

start downloading!
the dedicated Chang'e 3 issue of Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics is finally available:

Great stuff! The second paper down that list includes some names for craters near the lander. They are taken from traditional Chinese names for constellations and parts of the sky. I will be doing something with these soon, but I'm not sure these are the same names I got a glimpse of a few months ago. Still much to learn!

a couple of new papers from CE3:
http://www.raa-journal.org/docs/papers_accepted/ms1989.pdf.gz
http://www.raa-journal.org/docs/papers_accepted/ms1950.pdf.gz
and this was just published on arXiv

CE-3 made it to Science this week:
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/347/6227/1226.abstract
two new preprint papers accepted for publication in Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics:
http://www.raa-journal.org/docs/papers_accepted/ms1939.pdf.gz
http://www.raa-journal.org/docs/papers_accepted/ms1946.pdf.gz
the first is particularly interesting
