Japanese space rover becomes world's first to land on asteroid

The cookie tin-shaped robots successfully reached the Ryugu asteroid last week after being released from the Hayabusa2 probe. The stunning new images and video released by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency show the craggy surface of the asteroid, and reveal the rover's first 'hop' was a success.
