Tour of the Moon 4K Redux (VIDEO)

NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center

Caption

In the fall of 2011, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission released its original Tour of the Moon, a five-minute animation that takes the viewer on a virtual tour of our nearest neighbor in space. Six years later, the tour has been recreated in eye-popping 4K resolution, using the same camera path and drawing from the vastly expanded data trove collected by LRO in the intervening years. https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4619
