Images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter - The Big Picture

Boston.com The Big Picture has some amazing photography, and the space/astronomy related ones are always brilliant.

This is no exception.

It probably won't. They'll find all sorts of wierd ways of saying the photos were faked etc, you know how they work.

Love the images, Mike, thank you! Awesome close ups of the surface features.
