A new data set released to PDS... the south pole data got some publicity last year, but there's a lot more here including beautiful images of Orientale.

QUOTE (Phil Stooke @ Aug 27 2007, 08:32 PM)  A new data set released to PDS... the south pole data got some publicity last year, but there's a lot more here including beautiful images of Orientale. That is nice stuff. 90% of the time, I feel like I'm looking at visible light imaging, but every now and then it looks like a crater apron is transparent. Too bad we can't get every solar system object to spend some time at 400,000 km long enough for us to do this to it. |

Just give me warning when it's Jupiter or the Sun's turn at being 400,000 km away...

Some interesting links from Chuck Wood's Lunar Picture of the Day website:
