🌓Did you know that a first-quarter moon is an ideal phase to observe? It’s high in the sky in the early evening and shadows along the line between night and day enhance the topography.

🧀 No, it’s not made of cheese, but there are many great things to digest about our Moon. It contains layers, with heavy materials like iron at its core and a surface covered in dust and rocks.

Glazed, powdered...or filled with lava? It's likely that volcanic activity played a role in forming these donut-shaped craters. The craters are unusual in shape but are fairly widespread on the pockmarked lunar surface.

Nice work, #CAPSTONE!

Our Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has received and returned signal from the spacecraft which will continue testing its near rectilinear halo orbit for up to 12 months!

Say farewell to Lunar Flashlight! Now that its mission has ended, the CubeSat makes a close approach with Earth on May 17 at 4:44 UTC. How to see it:

1) With NASA's Eyes on the Solar System interactive
2) Through a telescope from the Southern Hemisphere

NASA’s Lunar Flashlight mission has ended after being unable to reach its science orbit around the Moon. But the technology demonstration tested several key technologies that had never been used in space before that will benefit future spacecraft.

The May full moon goes by many names, including Milk, Corn, Hare, or Flower. No matter what you call it, it's a sight to behold.

The May full moon is also a penumbral lunar eclipse, meaning that the Moon will pass into the outer part of Earth’s shadow. The darkening effect is so slight that it won’t be noticeable - but it's nice to know that the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned. https://go.nasa.gov/42t7Rtp

Meet Malapert massif, one of 13 candidate landing regions for #Artemis III, the planned mission to land humans on the Moon. The mountain's peak, on the lower left of the image, rises more than 16,400 ft (5000 meters) above its base

Just imagine the view

Tonight is the first full moon of spring in the northern hemisphere! Pink flowers coming into bloom lend their name to this full moon.

Full moons occur when the Moon is opposite the Sun in its orbit around Earth and its nearside is fully illuminated.
