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: http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/ A brief description plus status is available here: http://www.msss.com/lro/lroc/index.html |

This is a tiny detail from the upper wall of Burg crater in the latest LROC image. Nice dust streamers - I don't recall anything like this in Apollo or Lunar Orbiter images.

Phil The Moon ( or Selene - I just do not feel 'the Moon' does her justice) sure ain't boring... Every time we increase resolution on a planet/moon, a whole new world pops into view. LROC will help reveal processes that operate on a large, airless, volatile free body. How exactly do electrostatic and exospheric efffects operate, long term and short? I expect the unexpected. WOW..
