Google Moon left, LROC right
NASA has launched a map of the moon's northern polar region. The LROC Northern Polar Mosaic is an interactive map of the N pole of the Moon from threescore to ninety degrees N latitude.
The map uses satellite images which are incredibly detailed at two-meters-per-pixel in addition to rather puts Google's ain Google Moon map to shame. The picture inwards a higher house shows the J. Herschel Crater displayed on Google Moon in addition to the novel LROC Mosaic. The Google Moon picture on the left is fully zoomed in, piece the LROC map has 5 farther levels of zoom.
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter entered lunar reach inwards June 2009 in addition to it has taken 4 years to practice this mosaic picture of the moon's N pole. It has been good worth the wait.
