It’s a curated gallery series touring pretty sights on our cosmic neighbor, as imaged by various lunar orbiters and other spacecraft over decades. Each image within the galleries below links to a brief post, usually self-written, which explains the geological importance of said lunar feature and why there’s value in exploring it. **Note:* You can click on the images to view each gallery.* *(Since this is visual browsing page, image credits are provided in the links.)* [![](https://jatan.space/content/images/2024/02/https-3a-2f-2fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2f929b93af-0376-4e85-b08a-fdbabae502fa_949x700-jpeg.jpg)](https://jatan.space/gallery-of-lunar-craters/) [****Gallery: Our Moon’s captivating craters**](https://jatan.space/gallery-of-lunar-craters/) [![](https://jatan.space/content/images/2025/07/moon-mountains.jpg)](https://jatan.space/exploring-moon-mountains/) [****How Moon mountains form instantly**](https://jatan.space/exploring-moon-mountains/) [![](https://jatan.space/content/images/2024/02/https-3a-2f-2fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2fbe5620e8-7b18-4e2d-b406-8668a51ec5ff_1641x985-jpeg.jpg)](https://jatan.space/gallery-of-moon-mountains/) [****Gallery: Our Moon's marvelous mountains**](https://jatan.space/gallery-of-moon-mountains/) [![](https://jatan.space/content/images/2024/02/https-3a-2f-2fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2f9a2aed45-3ee6-4aea-972a-2d7c0152fb9f_2995x1426-jpeg.jpg)](https://jatan.space/gallery-of-lunar-lava-channels/) [****Gallery: Our Moon's lovely lava channels**](https://jatan.space/gallery-of-lunar-lava-channels/) [![](https://jatan.space/content/images/2024/02/https-3a-2f-2fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984-s3-amazonaws-com-2fpublic-2fimages-2f13a494c5-8458-45d2-b571-ce045dd05561_2000x1600-jpeg.jpg)](https://jatan.space/gallery-of-weird-lunar-features/) [****Gallery: Just some weird yet wonderful features on our Moon**](https://jatan.space/gallery-of-weird-lunar-features/) ## Watch and browse the Moon in 3D!
