"This mission marks the first time the entire basin has been seen with human eyes, showcasing a feature long hidden from view."
"What we are probably most excited as a crew about seeing on the moon would be an amazing feature called Orientale, sometimes known as the Grand Canyon of the moon."
NASA's Artemis II crew has released a groundbreaking image of the moon, showcasing the full Orientale basin for the first time. This impact basin, formed 3.7 billion years ago, measures 200 miles wide and has been partially seen before but never in its entirety. The crew expressed excitement about observing this unique lunar feature, known for its multi-layered crater rims and lava fields. The mission has progressed smoothly, although the crew faced a persistent issue with the toilet system shortly after launch.
