Dazzling satellite views of vast Moon crater

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC), overseen by ASU professor Mark Robinson, has been busy taking high-resolution photos of the Moon's surface. Most recently, LROC captured stunning photos of the Moon's enormous Aristarchus crater. Adam Mann, a science reporter and freelance journalist with Wired magazine, posted a story on Wired's website about this crater, which is two times as deep as the Grand Canyon.
