Google Moon Maps

Google's added select maps of the Apollo lunar landing sites
for the Apollo 11 landing anniversary. They get quite nicely detailed.

Hi,

They get quite nicely detailed.
Until you zoom in to far and it turns to swiss cheese.

They'll fix that when they get better data from the coming recon orbiters.

Yes, that's right. Most maps don't let you get close enough
to study the moon's makeup in that way.

I was looking around for the exact type of cheese, It looks like it's
Emmental.
Look what I found- the answer to the question nobody ever asked- what
would Swiss cheese be like if you made it out of _Chocolate Milk_:

I was a little surprised to find that once you get to that layer, it's
no longer fractal.

1. Joseph Nebus,
I wonder why they didn't bother as to using their very own close
encounter images obtained via orbiting at roughly 100 km, with a 10X
telephoto lens no less, that's still offering far better grain/pixel
resolution than KECK or any other method of observations.

BTW; the http://moon.google.com/ set of images need to be contrasted
down a few notches so as to getting closer to the average 11~12% albedo
(nearly coal like) surface, as will as they should have at least been
giving us the overall general true color as being a dark golden and
perhaps even a bit red/orange hew from all of the titanium, iron and
carbon dust deposits. At least that way the bright aluminum, gold foil
and white painted items of all those nifty Apollo items should have
been providing downright blinding specks.
