"Japan's Moon Lander Defies Odds, Survives Lunar Nights"

TL;DR Summary
Japan's SLIM moon lander, which made a historic touchdown on the lunar surface last month, unexpectedly survived a freezing lunar night and re-established communication with Earth, more than a month after its initial landing. The spacecraft, operated by Japan's space agency, had run out of power shortly after landing but regained electricity when its solar panels received sunlight from a different direction, despite not being designed to survive a lunar night.
