However, concentrations of volcanic activity are significantly displaced from where they are expected to be, based on […] In this image, both of the impact sites of the mirror-image GRAIL spacecraft can be seen. The final resting spots of these two spacecraft were imaged by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
