Google Luna 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 Luna from threescore to xc degrees N latitude.
The map uses satellite images which are incredibly detailed at two-meters-per-pixel as well as rather puts Google's ain Google Moon map to shame. The icon higher upward shows the J. Herschel Crater displayed on Google Luna as well as the novel LROC Mosaic. The Google Luna icon on the left is fully zoomed in, spell the LROC map has v farther levels of zoom.
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter entered lunar reach inward June 2009 as well as it has taken 4 years to practise this mosaic icon of the moon's N pole. It has been good worth the wait.
