Part of the Moon stands out against the blackness of space. Its surface is marked with numerous craters of different sizes. The craters are mainly to the left and bottom. The upper right part of the Moon's surface is much smoother.

In this photo taken on April 6, 2026, part of the Moon’s far side is visible along the terminator – the boundary between lunar day and night – where low-angle sunlight casts long shadows on the surface.

A section of the Orientale basin is visible along the upper right of the lunar disk, its structure subtly revealed under raking lighting. This lighting enhances the contrast on the crater terrain, highlighting variations in surface features and providing insight into the Moon’s geologic history.
