Yutu, or "jade hare" in Chinese, tops a list of names for China's first moon rover, likely to be launched in December, after a month-long online poll and debate amongst a board of jurors, said Sunday's Beijing Times. Tansuo, or "explore," and Lanyue, or "catch the moon," came in second and third place, respectively, out of 10 possible candidates chosen from 190,000 proposals from Sept 25 to Oct 25. Next week, another online poll will elect the three most popular names, and the final result will be announced in November.
