ALT A portion of the Moon\u2019s farside is seen along the terminator\u2014the boundary between lunar day and night\u2014where low-angle sunlight casts long shadows across the surface. A section of Orientale Basin is visible along the upper right portion of the lunar disk, its structure subtly revealed under grazing illumination. This lighting enhances contrast across the cratered terrain, highlighting variations in surface features and providing insight into the Moon\u2019s geologic history. Credit: NASA
