These are just preliminary photos before it's into it's proper mapping orbit. Expect 2x-3x improvement in resolution soon. It's interesting, but it's still no Google Maps Streetview. :wink:

Cool stuff! Just a real shame that Walter Cronkite left us just two days shy of the 40th anniversary, that could have been a wonderful interview of his recollections of that occasion-

Very Cool!
Thanks for posting!
I wonder if the young kids running the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera will be able to locate Apollo 13's landing site? :cry: :wink:
