A New Map of the Moon

一张新的月面图

NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter science team released the highest resolution near-global topographic map of the moon ever created. This new topographic map shows the surface shape and features over nearly the entire moon with a pixel scale close to 328 feet.

NASA的月面勘测卫星科学团队放出了有史以来最高分辨率的月面地形图。这张新的地形图以328英尺的分辨率尺度展现了差不多整个月面的风貌和地物。

Although the moon is Earth's closest neighbor, knowledge of its morphology is still limited. Due to the limitations of previous missions, a global map of the moon’s topography at high resolution has not existed until now. With LRO's Wide Angle Camera and the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter instrument, scientists can now accurately portray the shape of the entire moon at high resolution.

尽管地月很近，但是我们对月球的表面形态仍所知有限。由于先前的任务局限，直到今天，人们才得以得到一张高分辨率的全月面地形图。在LRO的广角摄像机和激光测高仪的帮助下，科学家现在可以精确的测绘出整个月面的形状。http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/i ... e_feature_2110.html
