ShadowCam sees the Lunar Reconnaisance Orbiter Korea's Danuri spacecraft captured this image of NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter in lunar orbit on April 7, 2023 from a distance of 18 kilometers (11 miles). The image was made with the orbiter's ShadowCam instrument, and released by the ShadowCam team on May 10, 2023. The image of LRO is smeared due to the relative velocity between the two spacecraft, which was 3,180 meters per second (7,113 miles per hour). NASA/KARI/Arizona State University
