Moon Mosaic
["../../../LPOD-2004-06-12b.htm" ] Image Credit: Pablo Lonnie Pacheco Railey </a> |
Magnificent Moon! Its impossible to take a single image of the Moon that shows topography across the entire Earth-facing side. Pablo Lonnie Pacheco of Monterrey, Mexico has responded to this impossibility with the most spectacular piece of image processing I have ever seen. He has compiled this mosaic of the Moon by splicing together more than 150 frames from the [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/research/cla/ Consolidated Lunar Atlas. The small version above does not do justice to Pablo's achievement - immediately click on the image above to see his full size mosaic. Isn't it stunning! I predict that this will be the standard image of the Moon in all future textbooks. Congratulations, Pablo! Technical Details: Click image for larger image (471k).
