NASA discovers large lunar crater and traces it to 2024 impact while asteroid mining study estimates 99.6% carbon footprint reduction and US Air Force admits to space control weapons.
how this picture was made
Painted by @cf/leonardo/lucid-origin on workers-ai.cloudflare.com, 2026-09-23 00:28Z. Scene directed by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast.
The scene the art director wrote
A massive crater dominates the lunar surface in the background, with a comet or asteroid visible in the distant sky, as a spacesuit-clad figure examines the crater's edge, while a rocket carrying a satellite rises from a launchpad on Earth in the foreground, under a starry night sky with a subtle glow.
Inside the house scaffold (the fixed style + safety clauses), the full prompt the painter received
Sprawling painted editorial illustration for a newspaper front page: A massive crater dominates the lunar surface in the background, with a comet or asteroid visible in the distant sky, as a spacesuit-clad figure examines the crater's edge, while a rocket carrying a satellite rises from a launchpad on Earth in the foreground, under a starry night sky with a subtle glow. Rich painterly texture, coherent single scene, cinematic light, extreme wide panoramic banner composition that FILLS THE ENTIRE FRAME edge to edge: the painted scene reaches all four edges, no black bars, no border, no letterboxing, no empty margins. Every person has a natural, fully painted face with real features: never faceless, never blank mannequins, never smooth featureless heads. All people are fictional and resemble no real public figure. Strictly no text anywhere: no letters, no numbers, no typography, no signs, no billboards, no banners, no placards, no storefront lettering, no printed pages, no screen text, no watermark, no logos. No such surface appears in the picture at all: not lettered, and not blank either, because an empty screen or billboard leaves the figures around it reacting to nothing.

LRO data reveals 222-meter-wide fresh crater on the Moon
Image processing specialist Robert Wagner at Intuitive Machines identified the largest newly formed lunar crater while reviewing routine LRO data.
By Luisa Marconi · 1hA 222-meter-wide (728-foot) crater named McGetchin has been identified as the largest newly formed crater on the Moon, discovered in routine data from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
