The lander woke up at 8:39 p.m. Wednesday, and the rover, Yutu-2 (Jade Rabbit-2), awoke at about 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, surviving their first lunar night after making the first-ever soft landing on the far side of the moon, said CNSA.
China's Chang'e-4 probe, having made the first-ever soft landing on moon's far side, found that the temperature of the lunar surface dropped to as low as minus 190 degrees centigrade, colder than expected.

its more than a month after chang'e 4 landing...does it take very long time for LRO to adjust it's orbit in order to be exactly on top of chang'e 4 landing site?i thought the above link would show "before- after landing" pics.

嫦娥四号着陆器、巡视器在春节期间工作正常 今日进入月夜休眠模式CE-4 Lander and Patrol are working normally during the Spring Festival. Entering the Moonlight Sleep Mode today.来源:中国探月工程 Source: China Lunar Exploration Project日期:2019年02月11日 Date: February 11, 2019春节期间,嫦娥四号着陆器和巡视器工作稳定,能量平衡,各系统工况正常,数据传收正常,红外成像光谱仪、中性原子探测仪等科学载荷顺利开展科学探测活动。巡视器于2月11日2时22分移动至LEO0210点,在月面累计行驶120米左右。During the Spring Festival, the CE-4 lander and rover were stable, the energy was balanced, the working conditions of each system were normal, the data transmission was normal, and the scientific load such as infrared imaging spectrometer and neutral atomic detector successfully carried out scientific exploration activities. The rover moved to [LEO0210 point] on [February 11] [02:22] and accumulates around 120 meters on the lunar surface.经地面分析,目前着陆器、巡视器状态满足月夜休眠要求,将按计划于2月11日19时与19时30分先后进入月夜休眠模式。巡视器预计将于2月28日唤醒,着陆器预计将于3月1日唤醒,继续开展科学探测活动。After ground analysis, the current state of the lander and rover meets the requirements for moon-night dormancy, and will enter the moon-night sleep mode at 19:00 and 19:30 on February 11 as planned. The rover is expected to wake up on February 28, and the lander is expected to awaken on March 1 to continue scientific exploration activities.
