I think those are just symptoms of SSTV ham radio downlink.

Yes, looking at it now I'm inclined to agree.

Summarizing from the above link, using Google translation: The Chang'e 4 rover will have a name soon. A competition was held starting on 15 August, and on 18 September a shortlist of the many submitted names was announced after a meeting in Beijing. The shortlisted names are: dream-by-dream Guangming [= bright or brightness] Yutu No.2 exploration journey elf fearless Wangshu (one of the former kingdoms of China 1000 years ago) walker golden rabbit (the first one looks like a bad translation) The final name will be picked in October.

Golden rabbit sounds really fun! It has my vote (for what it's worth...)

My Chinese is just ok, but I would translate them like so:
逐梦 = Dream Chaser 光明 = Bright (literally, but also as in a bright future) 玉兔二号 = Jade Rabbit #2 探索 = Explorer 征途 = Trek (like a long voyage, but not the same word as in Star Trek, oddly) 精灵 = Genius 无畏 = Fearless 望舒 = To Spread Across the Moon / To Spread Our Hopes (this one is sort of a subtle pun that's hard to translate) 行者 = Walker (as in the sense of walking the Earth like an ancient monk) 金兔 = Gold Rabbit |

Thanks!
And now Andrew Jones has these meanings: 逐梦 - Zhu Meng (chasing the dream, dream catching) 光明 - Brightness 玉兔二号 - Yutu II (Jade Rabbit 2) 探索 - Exploration 征途 - Expedition 精灵 - Genius (Fairy or elf) 无畏 - Fearless 望舒 - Wang Shu (a god that drives for the Moon in Chinese mythology; also can be used to refer to the Moon) 行者 - Stroller or Hiker 金兔 - Golden Rabbit https://gbtimes.com/change-4-shortlist-of-1...s-space-program EDIT: I would interpret 'genius' like the latin 'genius loci', or spirit of a place, associated with a place, rather than the modern English meaning of Genius.

This website posts pictures from the little student camera (from the Harbin Institute of Technology) on Longjiang 2 (also know as DSLWP-, which can be commanded by radio amateurs on Earth. One of the most recent is this one: - showing the farside and Earth. The green channel is severely underexposed so this is processed to remove a purplish tint and to brighten the image.

Here's another with a few missing lines.
The time data may be available. I will look for it. Phil EDIT: more data here: https://charon.camras.nl/public/dslwp-b/ See also this very useful blog: https://destevez.net/ -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Check out this excellent blog by Daniel Estevez:
https://destevez.net/2018/11/november-dslwp...moon-and-earth/ - and if you go right to the end you will find an animation exactly like that mentioned above by mcmcmc. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

And a mosaic of two recent images (Mare Humboldtianum* in the top right corner)
Phil EDIT: * corrected 'Moscoviense' to 'Humboldtianum' above - how could I have made that silly mistake? -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Chang'e 4 launch set for tomorrow. We still don't have the rover name yet.

It seems that the name was to be decided by an on-line vote, similarly to Chang'e-3 rover, and the most popular was 光明 - guangming ("Brightness"). However a committee was supposed to have made a final choice by late October.
See https://gbtimes.com/online-vote-decides-top...ide-of-the-moon The article has other interesting info on the mission and links to many relevant pages. In here it says that live coverage of the launch seems unlikely. Fernando Edit: Liftoff was successful and Andrew Jones has tweeted an unofficial video stream |
