APOD (1400x1400)

Very nice. Some clever compositing there too. Look at the shadows from the craters on the top and left compared to the right.

Cheers,

Drew.

I look... but I don't see what you see.
Can you elaborate?

The craters on the left have shadow suggesting the sun is off to the right. The craters on the right have no shadows. Clever.

Give the man a coconut!

Over here?

Wonder if a planet builder could create MoonOXP?

The URL above provides image data..

Wow.

Downloaded the image and viewed it without scaling.

The amount of detail is incredible, you can sort of "fly" above the Moon in low orbit when you scroll (unzoomed I see only a tiny fraction of the image at a time, 1260 x 875 of 24000 x 24000).

Truly awe inspiring pic.
