The moon

Four visualizations from a computer simulation showing the collision between the moon and a smaller companion moon. The simulation shows that most of the contents of the small moon come together and become a pancake-like layer that currently constitutes the mountainous area on one side of the moon - the side far from Earth. Illustration: M. Jutzi and E. Asphaug, Nature.

Pictured from top to bottom (not to scale) are the Moon, Venus and an asteroid. These three bodies are prime candidates for NASA's next scientific space mission. The proposed missions are: monitoring Venus' atmosphere and crust, returning samples from a near-Earth asteroid for analysis, or dropping a robotic vehicle into the Moon's south polar basin and returning rock samples from there for examination and analysis on Earth .

NASA has selected three finalists for scientific missions, one of which will be carried out: to Venus, an asteroid or the moon
