Here is an amazingly detailed 550MB image of the moon taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera. The image is so detailed, you can almost see the aliens.

Hmmm too bad you can't see the apollo landers in this picture.
With as many craters as there are on the moon and no atmosphere, its amazing we don't witness impacts on the moon all the time.
Most of them are hundreds of millions of years old.
No Doubt, but there are tons of material that makes it to earth every day and burns up.

Now we can see what you're brethren on the dark side of the moon have been doing Steve!
Cool shot. I started the download but didn't notice that I had selected "Open" instead of just "Save" so, outta nowhere Paint popped up (just did a clean install last night, haven't installed my normal image editor) and when I realized what was happening I opened Task Manager to see this starting:
For almost a minute and a half the RAM used jumped to about 2.8GB and held there, then started that slow downward slope, and the image didn't actually appear in Paint until about 25 seconds after it "flatlined" back to normal. Weird how that works...
But definitely a keeper image... now, where's Waldo?

Do you guys think the people at Kinko's would let me print this out for a poster? I hear they are strict about copyrighted things. For example, they won't let this lady photocopy a book cover.
I noticed their are more craters grouped together then other areas of the moon.How is the little cone in the centre of the craters formed.
Awesome, God did a good job when he created the moon and stars.
It's a NASA pic of the moon, it's published, it's public, I can't imagine it's an issue, really. If they complain, say you're an amateur astronomer and you snapped it at the last full moon or whatever...
Wow, pretty impressive. Did anyone bother downloading the 1/2 GB monster pic?
I found this little stretch of craters to be interesting:

there is no dark side of the moon really, as a matter of fact, it's all dark.

Clearly a moon road or supply chain that was bombed.
