Kissing the Man in the Moon

Neat little site where you can view the near side face of the moon and zoom in so close you'll be enjoying every pixel:

Sweet - thanks Woodchip. Any idea if we can see the site of the moon landing from this angle - and if so where? :-)

Multiple landing sites, googling "lunar landing sites" should give you lots of "maps"
