NASA has released a video tour of the Moon.
Take a virtual tour of the Moon in all-new 4K resolution, thanks to data provided by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft. As the visualization moves around the near side, far side, north and south poles, we highlight interesting features, sites, and information gathered on the lunar terrain.
This video is public domain and along with other supporting visualizations can be downloaded from the Scientific Visualization Studio at: http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4619 Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/David Ladd

/ 15th April 2018Part of me still thinks that knowing too much about the moon spoils the illusion about what it’s like.

/ 15th April 2018Lordy! What can I say…how can anyone “know too much” about the moon?
Did you think it was made of…mozzarella?

/ 15th April 2018Thanks for cleaning up, Pete; didn’t see Kitty’s now-deleted comment but I’m guessing it was something really distasteful, like accusing me of voting ACT.
Kitty Catkin
/ 16th April 2018Of course it wasn’t. You must be able to guess what it was, two words, five letters each, the second of which was alert. I can’t see why it was deleted, as people have said much worse and got away with it.
Kitty Catkin
/ 16th April 2018I wouldn’t credit you with the sense to vote ACT.It’s the thinking person’s party.
Kitty Catkin
/ 16th April 2018I referred to you as a troll, and as you have said some extremely offensive things, I cannot see why this was deleted.

/ 15th April 2018Includes some good shots of the lunar landers and other Apollo detritus. This hi-tech imagery will have sent the conspiracy industry into an orbit of despair
Gezza
/ 15th April 2018Faked. All faked. Unless you can take them there and show them personally – all faked.
I’d be quite happy to fire them off in a one way rocket to see for themselves but cost is an issue.
Kitty Catkin
/ 15th April 2018There’s a lunar tick trolling around; hint – second comment down.
robertguyton
/ 15th April 2018Didn’t see a single boot-print!
I knew it!!
Gezza
/ 15th April 2018I still can’t fully comprehend the courage it took to take the incredible risks that were involved in those landings, especially the first. You can train and test all you like but in the end it comes down to faith and hope everything will work right.

It was lonely enough.
