Artemis astronauts will map the Moon using their eyes not gadgets

They’ll read lunar secrets from color shifts

Artemis astronauts on a Moon flyby will rely on their eyes as a primary scientific instrument, trained like field observers rather than just technology operators. Building on Apollo’s legacy, they’ll examine lunar sites and phenomena, focusing on subtle color variations to infer composition and history. Mission reports are expected to deliver unusually detailed human descriptions of the lunar surface.
