Glass microspherules are ubiquitous in lunar regoliths. A better analog of the Yutu 2 spheres is the pair of glass balls, each several centimeters across, returned by Apollo 16.

I saw those, but they were so large that I thought they might have come from a large rock that had been "turned and polished" somehow for some scientific study...

As a reminder (because I need a reminder):
CE-5 already flew and was a sample return mission.
CE-6 is due to fly in the next couple of years, and will be a sample return mission to the South Pole Aiken Basin.
So these slides detail CE-7 and CE-8.

Yutu-2 is still alive and moving
Finally, official update of Yutu-2 Rover on the fourth anniversary of Chang'e-4 landing on the far side of the Moon: surveying distance passed 1455m. Previous update was 1300m in September of 2022. But, still waiting for the release of new lunar images and the map of driving.

These data releases happen once per month. See here:
