A NASA spacecraft has photographed the crash site of a Japanese company’s lunar lander. NASA released the pictures on Friday, two weeks after ispace’s lander slammed into the moon.

The images show a dark smudge where the lander, named Resilience, and its mini rover crashed into Mare Frigoris or Sea of Cold, a volcanic region in the moon’s far north. 

A faint halo around the area was formed by the lunar dirt kicked up by the impact. NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter captured the scene last week.
