Global map of the albedo from the 750-nanometer filter of the Clementine UV-VIS camera. This is the nearside of the Moon, shown in Lambert equal-area projection. Note the familiar appearance of the maria; the fresh, rayed crater near bottom center is Tycho (see slide #7). This view has been subsampled to a resolution of about 1 kilometer per pixel, about 5 times lower than the full-resolution data. Image processing by U.S. Geological Survey, Flagstaff, Arizona. Right
