Spooky Moon Images from NASA’s Orion Vehicle

The Orion spacecraft, which was recently launched for NASA’s Artemis 1 mission, broke the record for the longest crew-carrying vehicle yesterday and came very close to the Moon. Orion even flew close to the Moon. During this journey, he captured various images with the cameras on the ends of his wings and sent them to Earth.

Approaching the lunar surface at a distance of up to 130 kilometers, the spacecraft also shared various photos of the lunar surface. These photos are pretty scary and show how dangerous space can be. These photos were shared by NASA from their Flickr account.

Orion first shared photos of himself

The moon is in the background. This photo comes from the first hours the vehicle entered lunar orbit.

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Donald Trump, Messi, Ronaldo, you, us, your uncles and so on all live above that pale blue dot in the background.

Then, step by step, it approached the lunar surface.

Then slowly the vehicle approached the Moon.

Even closer..

And even more.

Maybe there’s a crater here

Every crater needs a friend, let’s shoot a few craters here too

You can sprinkle some more craters on the surface using meteorites of all sizes.
