Found again!  

After having been lost for nearly 40 years, the first lunar robot has been located.
Lunokhod-1 was landed on the moon in 1970, and was able to troll around the surface of the moon for about 11 months before it failed, and was lost. It's exact location was not know, and it was pretty much forgotten about until this year.


It was located by the chance observation of reflected light from laser beams shot at the moon.

The fact that only a few photons are reflected back & detected is pretty amasing stuff!

... and it looks so steampunk!
