This view of the moon's Goddard C Crater taken during the June 23, 2009 flyby of NASA's LCROSS lunar probe was obtained using one of the spacecraft's near infrared cameras. The flyby marked the first light for LCROSS' cameras as a test for its Oct. 9, 2009 crash, an intentional impact designed to hunt for water ice at the moon's south pole. Credit: NASA.
