A hemispherical panorama of the Moon’s surface with a black background. The Moon’s surface is rough textured and light gray speckled with darker gray splotches. One of the Chang’e-5 lander’s feet rests in the center of the image. It has a black circular foot and is supported by a tripod wrapped in gold foil. The flat bottom edge of the hemisphere is taken up by a blurred view of the lander’s body. A white sampling arm extends from near center to the 1 o’clock position on the hemisphere.
