    One the first images returned by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) shows cratered regions near the moon's Mare Nubium region. Impact craters feature prominently, with older craters have softened edges, while younger craters appear crisp. The image shows a region 1,400 meters (0.87 miles) wide, and features as small as 3 meters (9.8 feet) wide can be discerned.
