Pierazzo Crater featured in Artemis II flight highlights

The Artemis II crew spotted Pierazzo Crater on day five of their round-trip around the Moon, commenting on the brightness of the far side rayed crater, named after our late Planetary Science Institute colleague, Elisabetta “Betty” Pierazzo (1963-2011). The sighting was noted today, just before the crew began their lunar flyby activities. Throughout the mission, NASA has been sharing flight highlights.
