3D Map of the Moon, Solar System Space Artwork Description ➤ABOUT THE MAP: Using high-resolution data from NASA, this map was created to visualize the mysterious and fascinating terrain on the surface of the moon. The colors in the terrain illustrate the elevations (Darkest blues=lowest points to Whites=mid-terrain height, Dark Greys=highest terrain height.) The map intricately labels each crater, lunar sea, and Apollo landing locations, including the first landing of Apollo 11. This new map reveals the moon's sensational topography riddled with craters, canyons, and seas. The map was created from point elevation data and then transformed into contours to reveal the ground elevation on the bright side of the moon. Every contour and color in this image illustrates the shape and elevation of the natural landscape. Created by Professionals: The map was created and produced by a professional Geographer / Research Scientist using data gathered by NASA. The map is
