The Moon, revealed through its geology. 🌗 Explore the Unified Geologic Map of the Moon! Created by USGS Astrogeology, in collaboration with NASA and other partners, this first-ever comprehensive map reveals the Moon’s entire surface geology, combining Apollo-era data with recent satellite missions. It not only shows the 4.5-billion-year history of our lunar neighbor, but also serves as a key tool for future human missions and an invaluable resource for scientists, educators, and space enthusiasts. Download the full map and legend 👉 📹: This animation shows a rotating globe of the Unified Geologic Map of the Moon with shaded topography from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA).
