This screenshot from NASA's Eyes on the Solar System 3D visualization tool shows Lunar Flashlight making its close approach with Earth late on May 16. The CubeSat will pass about 40,000 miles (65,000 kilometers) from our planet's surface over Brazil's east coast.
With its primary mission over, the CubeSat will zoom by Earth late Tuesday, May 16, and NASA's Eyes on the Solar System app will track it, providing a chance to say farewell.
