LRO images...

LRO images...  A nice, browsable collection of images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).  It orbits the moon at just 31 miles (50 km) high, which lets it make oblique photos like the one at right.  They've just added a number of these oblique shots, which give you a much better feel for the surface texture than the standard high-altitude photography we usually see...
