Our team utilizes LROC imagery and data to create amazing informational videos, flyovers, and time-lapses that illustrate the spectacular nature of the lunar surface. More videos Mission Objectives LRO is currently in the Extended Mission phase, focused on collecting the data needed to address key lunar science questions, including chronology/bombardment, crustal evolution, regolith evolution, and polar volatiles. Mission details How did the Moon form? Today, there are several main theories on the origin of the Moon. The most widely accepted of these theories states that the Moon formed after a Mars-sized protoplanet (a young planet not yet fully formed), collided with the early Earth over 4 billion years ago.
