More moon images, you ask? Race through time
with the moon phase
movie
(397 K). Still bored? Have you ever wondered
what would happen if the moon
blew up
(460 K)? Yow! |

How about some views of the moon you can't get
from the earth? Here is an amazing
image
(54 K) of the earth-lit new moon (that bright
dot at the bottom is Venus). The
Galileo
probe, while on its way to Jupiter, captured this
picture (57 K)
of the earth-moon system. |

So where did I get the image
map
of the moon? Some tax money and the USGS
Clementine mission was a big help! The probe
mapped both the
near and far sides
(96 K) of the moon. |

Telescopes are your thing? The
Hubble Space Telescope
is hard to beat...although the Gemini Project telescope is setting a
new standard for ground-based telescopes. |
