(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.
