art002e009582 (April 6, 2026) – In this view, most of the Moon’s surface is illuminated as captured by the Artemis II crew during their flyby. To support scientific analysis, the lunar science team requested a series of images of the same scene using different exposure settings—including overexposed, underexposed, and standard images. Each variation highlights different aspects of the surface: brighter exposures can reveal faint features in shadowed regions, while darker exposures help preserve detail in highly reflective areas. Together, these images provide complementary data that allow scientists to better analyze the Moon’s surface composition, texture, and geologic features.
