Aerial view, looking down upon a massive lunar crater. A scientific research station, almost a futuristic city, stands on the edge of this vast lunar basin. Large boulders and small rocky spurs are scattered throughout the terrain. The city is perched atop a towering rocky outcrop, overlooking the immense crater, which resembles a barren valley. The station's architecture is sleek and harmonious, made of glass and steel. A grand building with a colossal astronomical observatory dome dominates the other structures. Multiple platforms host residential and research facilities, with scattered lights, intricate staircases, and antennas spread throughout. The city is surrounded by a vast expanse of frozen rock. At the base of the outcrop, a dozen smaller research domes, pipelines, conduits, and massive extraction machines fill the foreground, where activity is bustling across the plain. In the middle of the frozen crater, a spaceport stands. The sky is intensely illuminated as the sun sets, casting a bluish glow over the icy city. The air is frigid, with ice crystals drifting in the wind, lifting snow and dust just above the ground. In the distance, Earth is visible, setting on the horizon
