Well except for the one from the JAXA probe. Quoting: Paul#2 The best astronomical imagers out there are not color, they're greyscale. You get better data that way; better resolution, more sensitivity, and you can use color filters as well as narrowband filters to produce both true color and false color images. One-shot color CCDs sacrifice angular resolution and sensitivity. |

Some of those shots are sub half-meter resolution. No different than LRO's other high quality "landscape" shots. it's 2012 and just impossible to get a close-up image of that site Quoting: ACIt's clear that you're immune to evidence. It doesn't matter what the spatial resolution of the images are, you'll never accept them. |

Astromut Senior Forum Moderator User ID: 4211721 United States 03/28/2012 11:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I can understand about the grey scale for resolution but one of the pictures showing the satelite in the upper left hand corner seems to show the satelite in color yet the moon is in black and white. Is it just me or does someone else see this? Quoting: Paul#2 Well the yahoo version of the article doesn't work for me. The "MoonKAM" imager used by the students is a one-shot color video camera system designed by Ecliptic Enterprises Corporation since it's only there for student use as a public outreach tool, the LRO image also posted earlier in the thread though is grayscale. |

For all of your Nasa-Fun-Facts that you constantly spew like the shill you are, you wield the logic of a complete retard. |

Can you show us a picture of the Moon that has better resolution than what LRO showed of the landing sites? Please be sure to include the value of the resolution as well. |

One-shot color CCDs sacrifice angular resolution and sensitivity. That makes sense. I had always wondered why all the pics were greyscaled and not color - if the moon even has a color besides grey.... This too shall pass... |
