India's lunar rover has finished its historic walk across the moon's surface near the south pole after less than two weeks. The rover was put into sleep mode as the lunar daylight ended, according to India's space agency. It completed its assignments and transmitted the data collected back to Earth via the lander before shutting down. The rover and lander were only expected to operate for one lunar day. Now the rover's battery is fully charged and its solar panel positioned to receive light when the next sunrise occurs in a few weeks. Scientists are analyzing the data gathered, looking for signs of frozen water.
