A Half-Gigabyte View of the Moon

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the more-pixels-and-now dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A new 24,000-pixel-square half-gigabyte mosaic from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter shows the Moon's nearside as never before. The 1,300 black-and-white frames were acquired during a two-week period in December 2010. There is also video of the half gig moon."

    I'm so embarrassed.
