NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has taken its first look at China's Chang'e 6 spacecraft on the moon's far side.
The Chang'e 6 lander is flanked by two craters similar in size to it and is on the edge of a much more subtle crater about 165 feet (50 meters) wide, reports Mark Robinson, the principal investigator of the sharp-eyed camera system onboard LRO.
LRO spotted Chang'e 6 within the Apollo basin on the far side of the moon on June 7, 2024. The lander is seen as a small cluster of bright pixels in the center of the image.
