AmiMoJo writes: Detailed high resolution images from the recent Chinese moon mission have been released. Links to the original Chinese sites hosting the images are available, but Emily Lakdawalla of the Planetary Society has kindly organized them in English. Images show the lander, the rover and the surface of the earth. An interactive map is also available, built from data collected by the mission.

  1. Very good imaging by rmdingler · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Congratulations China. Chinese exploration of the lunar surface will hopefully lead to diverse international interest in development of national space programs.

    It is good to see the fascination with footprints on extraterrestrial soil crosses cultural lines.
