Amazing clarity B/W pics of lunar features. Plus, the description makes me feel youthful:

"Tycho's features are so steep and sharp because the crater is young by lunar standards, only about 110 million years."

    Bah!! That's just a Google Street View of my front yard.

    It's the same set they used for the first Apollo Lunar Landing scam. (My front yard hasn't changed since 1969) :)

    Thanks for sharing erco.

    They're not fooling me. Those are atomic force microscopic images of a booger.

    Well, I could have pulled off Capricorn One when I lived in Georgia, plenty of red clay, but alas, I was married then and had to have grass. :0
