000-The Moon from Clem.JPG014 - Light-up the Moon!60 visiteMosaic of the near side of the Moon lit by Earthshine, as imaged by a Startracker camera on March 15, 1994.
The Southern Hemisphere is up.
The bright crater toward the top of the image is Tycho.

017-The Moon from Clem-NearSide-PIA00302.jpg003 - The Near-Side of the Moon58 visiteAbout 50.000 Clem images were processed to produce the 4 orthographic views of the Moon. Images PIA00302, PIA00303, PIA00304 and PIA00305 show albedo variations (normalized brightness or reflectivity) of the surface at a wavelength of 750 nm (just longward of visible red). The Lunar Near-Side is a contrast between dark and light albedo surfaces that has been fancied as the "Man in the Moon". Lunar terrain types are still designated by their 17th century name and that is:
1. Maria (dark albedo features also known as basins) and
2. Terra (brighter albedo features also known as uplands or highlands).
The Maria constitutes about 16% while the Terra 84% of the Lunar Surface. The nearside is composed of about 30 percent maria. Extensive bright ray systems surround craters Copernicus (upper left center) and Tycho (near bottom).
Studies have shown that two major processes, impact and basaltic volcanism have shaped the major physical features of the Lunar Surface.

NearsideAlbedo.JPG007 - Nearside Albedo55 visiteGlobal map of the albedo from the 750-nanometer filter of the Clementine UV-VIS camera. This is the NearSide of the Moon, shown in Lambert equal-area projection.
Note the familiar appearance of the maria; the fresh, rayed crater near bottom center is Tycho.
This view has been subsampled to a resolution of about 1 Km per pixel, about 5 times lower than the full-resolution data.
