Jaw Dropping Moon Mosaic

Phil Plait's blog rocks my socks.
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badast...on-mosaic/ The link is in the post, but here it is anyway - click it for a HUGELY detailed photo of the moon. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7057/68174...a781_o.jpg ![[Image: Untitled2_zpswaosccbr.png]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i1140.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fn569%2Fthesummerqueen%2FUntitled2_zpswaosccbr.png) 
This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Hey, even at 3890 X 4650 pixels, the resolution of this photo is still at best about 0.5 mile per pixel. That means there could still be all sorts of alien pyramids on the moon but none of them would show up!
Now I'll be lucking for Chuck's pyramids all night...
(Possibly a lie...  )

It's a great camera for planetary work. Anyone here want to buy me one?  It's only $390, which is cheap as astronomical cameras go.
