barkis Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 After I had a look at JohnH's excellent image of the lunar crater Humbolt, which at times is invisible from Earth due to Libration, I got to thinking about the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter launched a few years ago to map possible landing sites, and send back High resolution images. I found this site which keeps track of the orbiters position in orbit, which is very intersting. At least to me anyway .Ron.http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/whereislro/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
