To create an image with a crystal clear view of the crater bottom, NASA researchers combined data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera , an imaging system on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been orbiting the moon since 2009, and ShadowCam, a NASA instrument onboard Danuri, a Korean spacecraft that launched in 2022.
