Incredible new images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbitor (LRO)

Hadn't seen anyone post these yet, so here are:

NASA has released some of the first images from the LRO that's orbiting the moon.

The resolution in these images is incredible, and will get even better once it settles into its orbit.

More here on the Bad Astronomer's Blog:

On this page, you can click on the first image and ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM right in!

I can't wait to see what it produces.
