A possible Artemis landing site
This is the Malapert massif region near the Moon’s south pole—a potential landing site for future NASA astronauts. Imaged by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, it presents a stark yet captivating landscape. Captured on March 3 from about 106 miles (170 kilometers) near Shackleton crater, this image was taken by the orbiter’s three-camera system, which has been producing high-resolution grayscale lunar images since 2009.
