Iris Lunar Dream Capsule Will Head to Moon on Next Astrobotic Lander

Members of the Iris team have assembled the Iris Lunar Dream Capsule, a tiny payload that will launch aboard Griffin-1, the next lunar lander from Carnegie Mellon spinout Astrobotic. The capsule — smaller than a matchbox — contains the names of team members and supporters, messages and stories, photos, a mini Iris, and a bit of the Moonyard from Carnegie Mellon Mission Control.
This image combines 678 separate images taken by NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory in just over seven hours of observing time. Combining many images in this way clearly reveals otherwise faint or invisible details, such as the clouds of gas and dust that comprise the Trifid nebula (top right) and the Lagoon nebula, which are several thousand light-years away from Earth.
