Magnificent Moon!

Magnificent Moon! It's 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 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: Related Links: Yesterday's LPOD: Double Planet Tomorrow's LPOD: RA9 |
