Some perspective would always be nice, or a distance legend. Like, could you see a human from that distance? A football stadium? A banana?
PrettyFlyForAFatGuy, You could probably calculate how far out they are by using the curve of the moon visible in the picture

The retrofiring of engines brought it closer to the Moon’s surface, now to 170 km x 4313 km.
For reference, the ISS’s height is ~413 km above Earth.
Dazza, They should definitely drop a banana on the moon’s surface
