These observations of the moon have been a challenging and highly successful technological achievement. The images will inform both scientific studies of lunar geology and future decisions on further lunar exploration.

These observations of the moon have been a challenging and highly successful technological achievement for NASA and the Hubble team, since the telescope was not originally designed for lunar observations. The images will inform both scientific studies of lunar geology and future decisions on further lunar exploration.

The detection of these new interacting rings and moons will help us better understand how planetary systems are formed and sustained, which is of key importance to NASA's scientific exploration goals.

It's such a great achievement to be able to go into space and onto the moon.
