Apollos 15 through 17 carried Panoramic Cameras which acquired thousands of photographs with resolutions up to 2 m. Some of these pictures show tiny details not seen elsewhere. Here is an example from the "Apollo Over the Moon: A View from Orbit" book.

Wouldn't it be odd if Earth's oceans had names but our land masses didn't? Pacific, Atlantic and Indian, but no Asia, North America or Africa. That is the way it is on the Moon. All the seas and various undeserving puddles (e.g. Lacus Spei) are named, but the cratered regions are anonymous.

During the nine months that LPOD has existed there has been a continuing evolution in the quality of lunar imaging. In January and February I was amazed that images were being acquired with 8 to 14" telescopes that were better than the world's previous best, often taken with the Catalina 61" telescope!

In 1822 the Bavarian observer Franz von Paula Gruithuisen astonished himself and later the world with his discovery of a regular herringbone pattern of ridges arranged with geometric precision. Gruithuisen immediately interpreted this small landscape (which he called Wallwerk) near Sinus Aestuum as a lunar city.

Фотография кратера Посидоний Джима Филипа в лучах низкого солнца одна из самых драматичных лунных изображений, которые я когда-либо видел и его публикация в первые 10 дней истории LPOD'а задали довольно высокую планку для снимков. Ныне планка снова поднята!

By mid-1968 the Soviets were clearly behind in the race to the Moon. The USA had achieved great technical and scientific successes with Surveyor and Lunar Orbiter precursor probes, while the Soviets had not progressed beyond the Luna 9 and 13 landings.

Тонкий серпик Луны, висящий низко над горизонтом среди облаков и листвы является самым вдохновляющим видом. Нет необходимости в науке, чтобы получать удовольствие от жизни и наблюдательности. — Чак Вуд Технические детали: Композиция из двух изображений — на задний план добавлено больше облаков.

Looking at even the best images from Earth or Lunar Orbiter we seldom get a feeling for the actual heights and slopes of lunar features. But while orbiting the Moon, Apollo astronauts used Hasselblad cameras to take some spectacular low oblique shots and even a few profiles.
