An impact of #asteroid #2024YR4 on the #Moon could be visible from Earth, if it impacts the side that faces us. Additional hazards not mentioned in articles I've seen so far would affect planning for #NASA #Artemis landing missions and Lunar Gateway space station (not yet launched).

The names/trademarks/insignia are definitely protected.

But I thought the content - images etc - couldn't be. Everything created by the US government and its agencies is ineligible for copyright - or at least that's been the common understanding.

The policy page you point to even seems to confirm this:

"NASA content – images, audio, video, and media files used in the rendition of 3-dimensional models, such as texture maps and polygon data in any format – generally are not subject to copyright in the United States."
