Can you spot the newest Moon lander? Swipe to reveal the answer! ⁣ ⁣ Our Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter captured this image of IntuitiveMachines’ Odysseus on the Moon on Feb. 24 from an altitude of about 56 miles (90 km) above the lunar surface. Odysseus landed at 80.13°S and 1.44°E, the closest landing ever to the Moon’s South Pole – the intended landing region for our Artemis missions. The NASA instruments aboard Odysseus will help us prepare for further exploration of the Moon. ⁣ ⁣ The Moon’s South Pole contains resources for long-term exploration: power and water. If you were standing at the Moon’s South Pole, you would see the Sun skim the horizon, never fully rising or setting. High points, like crater rims, are constantly in sunlight. This is ideal for solar-powered instruments. Low points, like crater floors, are constantly in darkness. These cold areas can trap hydrogen and oxygen, the ingredients of water. ⁣ ⁣ Our Artemis missions will send humans to the Moon’s South Pole for l...
