First Lunar Orbiter Panorama: In 1966, the Lunar Orbiter 1 took the first panoramic "oblique" photos of the Moon's surface to help scout landing sites for the future Apollo missions.

Todays Challenge: "Lunar Geometry." Find an area with craters, holes, or interesting geometric shapes on the ground. Capture a panorama looking down at these "landforms" to emphasize their patterns.

Pano Inspiration: These panoramas were transmitted back to Earth as "strips" of data, which were then physically pasted together by NASA scientists.
