I'm waiting for google to send one of their Street View cars up there and run it around for a few months.

Wonderful views there Mike. I wonder if the light shading around Luna 23 was caused by the rapid impact on landing.

Wow, they are getting good images! :)
Fantastic detail.

The conspiracy theorists will pull it apart and say they are faked of course :rolleyes:

Also noticed the likeness of the LRO's Logo to our SVAA Logo!

Fantastic images.

It's amazing the amount of resolution the LRO is achieving.

Thanks Mike for the link - I do not surf the net as much at the moment so I would nave missed it otherwise!

Fascinating indeed, a lot of the LRO images are truly spectacular.
