Показать описание
The seven instruments aboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter provide varied and unique datasets, but because of its polar orbit, the data coverage from LRO is best at the lunar poles. This visualization shows datasets from three LRO instruments at the moons south pole and then flies around the lunar terrain shown by the last of the three, the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter.

On March 15, the publicly accessible Planetary Data System will release data sets from the seven instruments on board NASAs Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter:

Well, we have placed satellites in orbit around Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, The Sun. We've mapped Mars and the Moon completely. Why I don't know. Placing satellites in long term orbit around other planets hasn't been a priority. But we've proved we're capable of it. Keep up the interest. You've still got lots of things to read.

The Dark Side of the moon is just the lunar night. The Dark side is different from the far side of the moon. The lunar day is approximately one month in duration. Why does the moon have no color? is it all just gray dust and rock?

its creepy simply because there in no sound and it's dark. With an inspiring music and comment it would be less creepy and more awesomesauce. We are naturally afraid to be alone in the dark :P it's not the moon that is creepy, open your mp3 player with cool music and watch it again, it's... ...quite beautiful
