See it on NASA's siteJapan's Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) successfully landed on the Moon. Before landing, it released two rovers: a larger one that hops and a smaller, baseball-sized one. The smaller rover took this image of the main lander, nicknamed "Moon Sniper." The image shows that Moon Sniper's thruster is pointed in an unexpected direction.
