"Japan's SLIM Moon Lander Lost to Cold Lunar Night"

TL;DR Summary
Japan's SLIM moon lander has stopped responding to signals, likely due to the harsh conditions of the lunar night. Despite this, JAXA remains hopeful and plans to attempt contact again next month when the sun returns to the landing site. The mission, which aimed to demonstrate precise lunar landing techniques, has already provided valuable data, including evidence of the mineral olivine on the moon's surface.
