Aerial view from a great height of a massive lunar crater spanning several kilometers. A scientific research station, almost a futuristic city and a mining extraction facility, stands at the heart of this vast lunar basin. The station’s architecture is sleek and harmonious, composed of glass and steel. A grand building with a colossal astronomical observatory dome towers over numerous other structures, many of which have small domes or cupolas. Multiple platforms host residential and research facilities, with scattered lights, intricate staircases, and antennas spread throughout the area. The crater’s edge is distinctly visible several kilometers away. In the foreground, additional research domes, pipelines, conduits, and enormous mining machines contribute to the bustling activity across the plain. The sky is intensely illuminated as the sun sets, 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 vast expanse of space, Earth can be seen setting on the horizon
