(LUT)
(Chinese ultraviolet telescope on the Moon)

The Lunar-based Ultraviolet Telescope (LUT) is a Chinese 15-cm ultraviolet telescope located on the Moon. It is one instrument of the Chang'e 3 lunar mission launched in 2013, the mission also including a China's first lunar rover. The lander (which holds the telescope) was still active in 2020 and may still be active now.
