Enjoy this Astrum Supercut of the #Moon as seen by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter ( #LRO). Fascinating and up-close look at our celestial neighbor that has been unavailable to previous generations. What would Galileo say?

#astronomy #MoonColonies #LRO #LunarPits An article published in the journal "Geophysical Research Letters" reports a study on some lunar pits where temperatures are stable at around 17° Celsius (about 290 Kelvin).

Since 2009, the LRO’s camera (LROC) has been mapping the lunar surface with resolutions of between 1m/pixel and 0.5m/pixel. In 2011, NASA announced that LRO had briefly descended in altitude and returned pictures of 0.25m/pixel.
For comparison, the cameras aboard the privately owned GeoEye-1 satellite have a resolution of 0.41m/pixel and are perfectly capable of distinctly resolving cars and humans from an altitude of nearly 700km (435.7miles).
