The first photo of the Odysseus lunar lander on the moon, the first U.S. spacecraft to make a soft landing on the lunar surface in more than 50 years, was released Monday.
As Odysseus fades, another lunar lander unexpectedly popped back to life. JAXA, the Japanese space agency, reported on Monday that its Smart Lander for Investigating Moon, or SLIM, had revived.

In 2009, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter snapped pictures of the historic Apollo 11 landing site. That mission's safe landing in 1969 was made possible, in part, by the Lunar Orbiter program.
The lunar landing sites are archaeological sites. For now, they’re in exactly the same condition the astronauts left them in — except for weathering from UV radiation and micrometeorites.
In his article, Robinson says not all of the proposed Artemis 3 landing site is visible. Looking at the image below, it’s the relatively flat area just above the “5000” annotation, in ...
