>NASA’s astronauts have released a landmark image of the moon as they approach the lunar surface for a historic flyby.
The picture offers a rare look at a feature long hidden from view – the full expanse of the Orientale basin.
It is visible along the very right edge of the lunar disk, marking the first time it has ever been seen in its entirety by human eyes.
The enormous impact basin, measuring 200 miles wide, formed 3.7 billion years ago by an asteroid smashing into the surface at nine miles a second.
