   The Japanese lunar mission Hakuto-R turned its cameras back to Earth to capture an image of our home planet. The very center of the image is Point Nemo, the most remote place on Earth, 2,688 km from anywhere else on Earth. The image was taken by the Resilience rover, which is similar to the first Hakuto-R mission that crashed on the lunar surface in April 2023. The rover will scoop up samples of lunar regolith for study, and the lander has other science experiments.
