The new spacesuit accommodates a wider range of body types. It’s also more flexible than previous suits, with lights and even an HD camera. The design can even withstand the extreme cold of permanently shadowed areas of the Moon. If you’re disappointed not to see the iconic white of NASA’s older spacesuits, don’t worry, this is just the first prototype. The final version will likely be completely white when worn by NASA astronauts on the surface of the Moon.

The company says its AI enhances detail, but critics say it’s adding information that wasn’t there.
Samsung shared a deeper explanation of its moon photo detection system that it has used since the Galaxy S21. The phone detects when you are taking a clear photo of the Moon at 25X zoom or higher and captures multiple frames.
