lunar surface
Where astronauts walked
The lunar surface is the outer layer of the Moon—its terrain, dust, and rock as distinct from its interior.
The term appears in scientific and space exploration contexts: The astronauts collected samples from the lunar surface.
It encompasses craters, maria, and the fine gray regolith that covers the Moon.
