China Publishes the Most Detailed Map of the Moon Ever Made

The map of the Moon's surface is more detailed than ever before.

The map of the lunar terrain was included in a recent study by researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other organizations.

The scale of the map is an incredibly precise 1:2,500,000 and shows all known rocks, craters, basins, and structures on the Moon's surface.

The researchers behind the map say it is the most detailed one yet. They used lunar geology data from the last century to create the map's stunning scale, with a total of 90 different types of structures highlighted on its color-coded key.

There are partial maps of the lunar surface that are double the scale of this one, but this map is the first to log the entire surface of the Moon at such a large scale.

This map, which was built using lunar surface data from all three countries and some from others as well, serves as a testament to the unifying power of science.

We have come a long way in lunar studies.

There is a map of the global moon.

NASA says it is a priority to investigate strange domes on the moon.
