Stunning images of lunar surface captured by NASA's Artemis 1 Orion spacecraft
The Artemis I Orion spacecraft was on the sixth day of its mission
NASA's Artemis I Orion spacecraft's camera snapped some stunning new images of the moon and its crafters this week.

Using the Optical Navigation Camera on the sixth day of the mission, the black-and-white images highlight billions of years of history.

"Orion uses the optical navigation camera to capture imagery of the Earth and the moon at different phases and distances, providing an enhanced body of data to certify its effectiveness under different lighting conditions as a way to help orient the spacecraft on future missions with crew," NASA said in a caption alongside the photos.

Scientists have learned about the conditions of our early solar system by studying the composition, size and distribution of the craters, created long ago by collisions with asteroids.
