China Releases the most detailed map of the Moon 中国发布最详细的月球地图

Astronomy and Outer Space are interesting studies.

China releases most detailed geological map of the Moon to date. The Geological Lunar Map is impressive.

Scientists in China have really released a new geologic map of the Moon that is the most detailed yet. Created by a team led by the Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the high quality image was made using data from China’s suite of Chang’e lunar exploration missions as well as information from other international organizations.

The map is to a scale of 1:2,500,000 and includes 12,341 impact craters, 81 impact basins, 17 rock types and 14 types of structures.

The colours on the image represent different periods on the lunar geologic timescale and the map also includes the locations of the Chang’e and Apollo landing sites.

In 2020 the United States Geological Survey Astrogeology Science Centre released a lunar map with a scale of 1:5,000,000. It took into account information from six Apollo-era regional maps along with more recent data from lunar satellite missions.

天文学和外太空是有趣的研究。

中国发布了迄今为止最详细的月球地质图。月球地质图令人印象深刻。

中国科学家真的发布了一张迄今为止最详细的月球地质图。由中国科学院地球化学研究所领导的团队创​​建的高质量图像是利用中国嫦娥探月任务套件的数据以及其他国际组织的信息制作的。

该地图的比例为 1:2,500,000，包括 12,341 个撞击坑、81 个撞击盆地、17 种岩石类型和 14 种结构类型。

图像上的颜色代表月球地质时间尺度上的不同时期，地图还包括嫦娥和阿波罗登陆点的位置。

2020年美国地质调查局天体地质科学中心发布了一张比例尺为1:500万的月球地图。它考虑了来自六张阿波罗时代区域地图的信息以及来自月球卫星任务的最新数据。
