Images from Earth’s Moon, the only world beyond Earth where humans have set foot.

From early robotic explorers to the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), from Apollo to Artemis, from Earth to the Moon and back—get to know our nearest neighbor in space through photographs and data maps.

Views from human and robotic explorers on and near the Moon.

See the Moon's mountains, craters, lava flows, and more through the "eyes" of robotic explorers like NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).

Views of Earth from human & robotic explorers on their way to, around, and back home from the Moon.

Visible light images can tell us a lot, but not everything. These data maps reveal lunar surface temperatures, slope and elevation, subsurface rockiness, and more.

One of the STS-103 astronauts inside Discovery’s cabin took this image of the full Moon backdropped against the blackness of space over Earth’s horizon. The top of the berthed Hubble Space Telescope (HST) appears in the frame.

Collections of Moon images captured by astronauts aboard the International Space Station (plus, even more Moon photos taken by Apollo astronauts)

Hundreds of images from the orbiter that has mapped the Moon’s entire surface in unprecedented detail.

You're invited! Each International Observe the Moon Night, people around the world celebrate lunar observation, science, exploration, arts, and culture.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) was sent to the Moon to make high-resolution maps of the composition of the lunar…

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will settle essential questions in the areas of dark energy, exoplanets, and astrophysics.
