NGC 1015 Galaxy Size:40x50 cm Orientale Basin at the Edge

Orientale Basin at the Edge of Light is a study in lunar geology and pure visual drama

This translates into far better quality than would be the case with a single exposure

it gives us unique moments

NASA’s Space Launch System sends Orion and its four-person crew on a ten-day journey around the Moon and back to Earth

but NASA notes that it is actually illuminated by moonlight reflected from the lunar surface
