lunar orbits
Paths around Earth's satellite
Lunar orbits are the paths objects take around the Moon, whether natural (like debris) or artificial (like spacecraft).
The term also describes the Moon's own path around Earth.
A spacecraft in lunar orbit circles the Moon repeatedly: The probe entered lunar orbit before landing.
NASA mapped the surface from lunar orbit.
