NASA started publishing photos of the Moon taken by the MoonKam (Moon Knowledge Acquired by Middle school students) of Ebb and Flow, the GRAIL (Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory) spacecraft. To be precise, between March 15 and 17, Ebb took pictures of the area selected by the fourth grade students from the Emily Dickinson Elementary School, Bozeman, Montana, who won the contest to name the two spacecraft.
