alt Hacker NewsSome of these images from the lunar observations gives me a weird perspective where the moon is really small and the features are like rain drops in really soft sand. Not sure if it's because my brain "knows" the size of the earth, and is seeing the moon as super close and forcing the perspective??? This one in particular: https://artemistimeline.com/#a-setting-earth

I don't there's anything we interact with that has a texture much like the moon's surface.
That would be a cool science museum exhibit: a recreation of regolith and perhaps visitors can interact with it in a glovebox or drive an RC car.
It's partly because everything's in focus. We're not used to seeing images with such enormous distances.
