I know it may be too early for such a thread, but an announcement has to be made.

The official website of the LROC camera is:

This is a stupid query, but why are all the images North down and South up huh.gif

The usual views of presenting images is to have North up and West on the left -- in accordance to the cardinal points as laid down for the Moon by the IAU in 1961. Will future images see a change in orintation?

Uncalibrated, raw imaging swaths taken on a descending node in a polar orbit will have north pointed down. Map-projected products take care of this.
