NASA’s Orion Sends Back Haunting New Views of the Moon’s Tortured Surface

The Moon is a chilly, useless, and desolate place, as these new pictures, captured by NASA’s Orion, attest.

This previous Monday, the uncrewed Artemis 1 capsule carried out the primary of two course correction maneuvers required for entry right into a distant retrograde orbit. It was throughout this course correction that Orion carried out its closest strategy to the Moon, coming to inside 80 miles (130 kilometers) of the lunar floor. Naturally, NASA took the chance to snap a bunch of cool images, which the area company released yesterday.
