TL;DR: In the course of 71 days in lunar orbit, from 19 February to 3 May 1994, the Clementine spacecraft acquired just under two million digital images of the moon at visible and infrared wavelengths, enabling the global mapping of the rock types of the lunar crust and the first detailed investigation of the geology of the Lunar polar regions and the lunar far side.

TL;DR: Images taken by the Stardust mission during its flyby of 81P/Wild 2 show the comet to be a 5-kilometer oblate body covered with remarkable topographic features, including unusual circular features that appear to be impact craters.
