The new map, born out of the United States Geological Survey (USGS), combines six other static, geologic maps of different sides of the moon. A video version even lets you see all the data as an animated globe:
The brightly colored spots on the moon's surface are different moon surface features. Each unique kind of feature — crater rim crests, buried crater rim crests, fissures, grabens, scarps, mare wrinkle ridges, faults, troughs, rilles, and lineaments — is labeled with its official name.

Deliver Us The Moon Review: A Largely Satisfying Leap For Mankind
Restoring the station typically involves reaching devastated areas and getting them functional enough to head to the next destination. Doing so requires solving clever, enjoyable environmental puzzles that boast impressive variety. New mechanics get introduced consistently, some of which only appear once or twice. Sometimes players must navigate areas while floating in zero gravity. Other times they'll assemble puzzle-like mechanical parts.
Repeat ideas get expanded on in small but welcomed ways. For example, climbing towers to realign satellite dishes eventually requires scaling a damaged structure before it collapses. Some of the game's best puzzles task players to pilot their remote drone to explore otherwise inaccessible nooks and crannies. This lead to several well-thought out obstacles built around strategically switching between two characters.
How Deliver Us The Moon Uses Astronaut Tech to Make the Game Feel Real – PlayStation.Blog
Embark on a critical mission to save humanity from extinction in Deliver Us The Moon, launching today on PS4.
Deliver Us The Moon is a space sci-fi adventure game that draws endless inspiration from sci-fi movie titans such as Interstellar and Gravity. These films have heart. They feature breathtaking scenery, gorgeous cinematography and stupendously immersive atmospheres. But as we took our first steps in developing Deliver Us The Moon, we realized there was one more thing these films had in common: they made you believe it could be real.
Mesmerising Video Shows The View if You Could See Earth And The Moon at The Same Time
As humans stuck on an orbiting planet, we're somewhat limited by our point of view. Looking up at the night sky, we can see our closest neighbour, the Moon, shining back at us, but have you ever wondered what we must look like from our satellite?

Using real NASA imagery and positional data along with lunar topography imagery, the former NASA employee has created a computer-generated, high-resolution video of what Earth looks like from the Moon, while also showing us what the Moon looks like from Earth at the same time.

Easter Egg Moon by Holiday Mathis – Boston Herald
The Easter holiday will get better as it develops. The moon forms a tense square early on and then eases up with a lucky trine to the Aries sun. All is resolved. The takeaway here is that aiming for perfection is too much pressure. If everyone were to merely aim for common sense, common honesty and common decency, the world would be better.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Lots of people are thinking of you. Keep up with relationships, as the benefits of staying social will far outweigh any inconvenience you endure trying to get together.
Soak in the Details of the Moon with this High-Definition Photo
Backyard astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy is always pushing his work to new heights and his latest photo, titled All Terminator , is no exception. This high-definition image of the moon is like no other, so it should come as no surprise that McCarthy devoted weeks to its creation. Thanks to his dedication, every nook and crater is highlighted in this spectacular view of the moon and its lunar surface.
So how did it all come together? In order to get the perfect blend of light and shadow, McCarthy spent two weeks photographing the waxing moon. These images were then sliced and blended together for this final look at the moon. To fulfill his creative vision of a photograph where it would be possible to see the texture of the moon’s entire surface, it took a lot of patience.
How And When To See The 'Dark Side Of The Moon' Lit-Up In A Ghostly Glow This Weekend
An exaggerated version of what 'planetshine' looks like on the Moon just after New Moon. Shot in ... [+] Gamsberg, Namibia in November 2018.
Here's a scintillating celestial sight that's visible to everyone on Earth this weekend—"planetshine."
For anyone getting into stargazing and moon-gazing while at home during the lockdown, it's a sight to behold, and one that you're sure to seek-out again.
The phenomenon of the Moon's darkened side being lit-up only happens in the last and first few days of the Moon's orbit of Earth. Since there was a New Moon on Wednesday, this weekend there will be three chances to see a beautiful crescent Moon gradually waxing.
Trump EO: The Moon and Other Celestial Bodies Should Be Open to Private Resource Development -
Despite the current chaos caused by the coronavirus, Washington still must consider the future. Which explains the president's new executive order that would allow private resource development on the moon and asteroids. It clearly rejects the "common heritage of mankind" rhetoric deployed by the United Nations on behalf of the Law of the Sea Treaty, which four decades ago created a special UN body to seize control of seabed resources.

Successful long-term exploration and scientific discovery of the Moon, Mars, and other celestial bodies will require partnership with commercial entities to recover and use resources, including water and certain minerals, in outer space.
