This should make finding evidence of alien inhabitance much easier.

Find anything interesting in that 3 hours? That way i can save 3 hours and you can tell us all the best bits.

i found the apollo 11 site with the help of google moon....its completely unremarkable

Ok heres a question for you..

How come towards the poles(not sure if right word) it appears that it sustained many more impacts.. rather than say the equator where it seems to have suffered much less? Any particular reason for this?

james.miller · 26 Feb 2011 at 14:35

where the arrow is pointing

google moon for comparison:

I believe this is because the moon is always facing us. because of this, the middle section that we see is far less likely to be hit by meteors that the polls or the other side.

The resolution is still not quite there to be able to see small detail. Think it is still around 1m/pixel.

Cosimo · 26 Feb 2011 at 14:56

It's so slow.

It is nowhere near 1m per pixel. The info on the right hand side of the screen says it's 145m per pixel. The lunar landing site will be completely invisible at such a coarse resolution. You'd need around 50cm per pixel to be able to see and identify the landing site.
