I was looking at satellite images of the moon on the Clementine Lunar Image Browser http://www.cmf.nrl.navy.mil/clementine/clib/
I found it weird that several area on the far side of the moon looked rather blurry, (like they where erased or air brushed). When I clicked on to some particularly obvious smudged out areas, to enhance I got a message that particular spot of the moon was unavalible to view close up. There where a few spots on the front side as well. Something weird seems to be going on so I checked out other sights, and the same thing happened. You can see every square inch of earth through the terra server, (except military bases) With the moon being so much smaller we should have perfect images. Anyone know of a good lunar sight that doesn't have restrictions?
