China has created a map of the Moon's surface more detailed, and at a greater scale, than any single map that came before it.
Who doesn't want to know every nook and cranny of the Moon?Published in, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the country's Institute of Geochemistry, and other organizations compiled known information about the Moon's surface in a recent study that includes this wildly-detailed map of the lunar terrain.
As the study notes, the scale of the map is an incredibly precise 1:2,500,000 scale that highlights all known rocks, craters, basins, and structures on the Moon's surface.Though this is far from the first lunar map, it is the researchers behind it say it's the most detailed yet.
As the researchers note, there are partial maps of the lunar surface that are double the scale of this one , but this map is the first to date that logs the entire surface of the Moon at such a high 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.
