Looking Forward to the Moon

The Moon is lit so only half of it, diagonally, is visible. Along that line, craters of different sizes are visible. As you look toward the right, you can see light and dark gray areas on the Moon's surface. The Apollo 15 landing site

On May 8, 2022, NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems’ Program Manager Shawn Quinn captured this crop of a full frame image of the Hadley–Apennine region of Earth’s Moon including the Apollo 15 landing site (very near the edge of the shadow of one of the lunar mountains in the area). Building upon the pioneers from the Apollo Program, Artemis crews will plan to verify capabilities for humans to explore deep space and pave the way for long-term exploration and science on the lunar surface.
