TOKYO: Japan's Moon lander has produced another surprise by waking up after the two-week lunar night, the country's space agency said on Monday (Feb 26).

The unmanned Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (Slim) touched down last month at a wonky angle that left its solar panels facing the wrong way.
