The Register is reporting that China's Jade Rabbit Luna rover is responding to 
signals after fears it might 'die' during the lunar night.

"China initially reported that the country's first lunar rover, Yutu, or the Jade 
Rabbit, couldn't be restored after it experienced a "mechanical abnormality" right 
before it went into shutdown while awaiting the return of the Sun to power up its 
solar panels."

"Yutu has come back to life!" a spokesman for the Moon programme told state news 
agency Xinhua.
