Luna Sights – Browse an inspiring world of craters, mountains, lava channels and more!

The amazing views of our Moon from the Orion spacecraft part of NASA’s Artemis I mission have inspired me to enhance this special page of curated Moon views with more resources.

Moon gallery

Partly inspired by NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD), Luna Sights is my project to showcase interesting places on our Moon. It’s a curated gallery series touring pretty sights on our cosmic neighbor, as imaged by various lunar orbiters and other spacecraft over decades. Each image within the galleries below links to a brief post, usually self-written, which explains the geological importance of said lunar feature and why there’s value in exploring it.

Note: You can click on the images to view each gallery.

Gallery: Our Moon’s captivating craters
Gallery: Our Moon's marvelous mountains
Gallery: Our Moon's lovely lava channels
