Aerial view, looking down upon a massive lunar crater several kilometers wide. A scientific research station, almost a futuristic city, stands in the middle of this vast lunar basin. Large boulders and small rocky spurs are scattered throughout the landscape. 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 numerous antennas. The crater’s edge is clearly visible several kilometers away. In the foreground, smaller research domes, pipelines, conduits, and enormous extraction machines create a scene of intense activity across the plain. Behind the station, an astroport features a rocket on its launch pad. The sky is brilliantly illuminated as the sun begins to set, casting an orange and bluish glow over the frozen city. The air is frigid, with ice crystals drifting in the wind, lifting snow and dust just above the ground. In the vastness of space, Earth can be seen setting on the horizon
