Check Out The Moon's North Pole

Hey Space Placers!

You have to check out NASA's just released interactive mosaic of the Moon's North Pole.  It took over four years to make from 10,000+ images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).

You can really zoom in anywhere on the mosaic and see incredible detail within individual craters. I will be looking at this for quite awhile, especially when preparing to observe the northern area of the Moon with my telescope. It will help provide perspective on what I am seeing.

Enjoy!
