thanks for this link!
much better resolution... compare China-website: http://www.magistrala.cz/freeenergy/media/moon/m2.png (??m/px)
and NASA: http://www.magistrala.cz/freeenergy/media/moon/m2-nasa.png (145m/px)


pictures with a resolution less than 0.5m/px are amazing! http://wms.lroc.asu.edu/lroc_browse

The dark spots you mentioned that looked like they might be airbrushed out could just be the combination of extreme telephoto imaging (which makes things look very flat) and shadows made from natural landscape.   Other things look like natural formations although I don't know what might have made some of those white lines.  That almost looked like frozen water.  However in one area you were zooming in you missed the best thing yet - these two eyes - heck I can even see eyelashes on one    
  I did flip it 180 degrees as it was upside down.  Even looks like a nose in there and eyebrows too.

If they have already mapped the moon with such a great resolution at  0.5 Meters per Pixel,
why don´t we see then the Apollo Moon landings sites with such a great resolution ??

Because there is nothing there.. ! Otherwise it makes no sense to hide it !

Otherwise wouldn´t  you be proud to show all the world the Apollo landing gear standing on the moon in
50 cm per Pixel resolution ??

Regards, Stefan.

try this map - it contains the hi-res images! - http://target.lroc.asu.edu/da/qmap.html

why don´t we see then the Apollo Moon landings sites with such a great resolution ??

they say they have apollo images - http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/multimedia/lroimages/apollosites.html
but these images are not 0.5m per pixel resolution... (why?)


I have tried to find Apollo 14: http://www.magistrala.cz/freeenergy/media/moon/apollo14.png
You can put coordinates to the map so it is easy:) - http://www.fi.edu/pieces/schutte/landchart.html
