The LROC WAC images the entire Moon each month in seven wavelengths (321 nm to 689 nm). This educational series of posters walk through a history of human interest in the Moon and the amazing lunar discoveries from LROC and the LRO mission since 2009. LROC has been exploring the Moon for well over a decade now. Mosaic of eight LROC NAC images provides this spectacular nadir view of the interior of Giordano Bruno crater (21 km diameter). The Atlantic and Pacific coasts of South America are visible to the left. The large tan area in the upper right is the Sahara desert, and just beyond is Saudia Arabia. The Earth straddling the limb of the Moon, as seen from above Compton crater. Nearside WAC 643 nm mosaic of images acquired between December 2010 and December 2011.

WAC GLD100 with LOLA 30m DTM poleward of 75˚ latitude. The images were not registered to one another. NAC images were map projected onto the GLD100 DEM using the LOLA crossover corrected ephemeris. LROC WAC 643nm normalized (incidence=30˚, emission=0˚, phase=30˚) reflectance global mosaic using an empirically derived photometric function similar to that of Boyd et al., 2012 2795.pdf LROC WAC normalized (incidence=30˚, emision=0˚, phase=30˚) reflectance global color mosaic using an emperically derived photometric function similar to that of Boyd et al., 2012 2795.pdf (2014), Resolved Hapke parameter maps of the Moon, J. I’ve already done this, hence 4 layers rather than just 2.LROC WAC normalized (incidence=60˚, emission=0˚, phase=60˚) reflectance global color mosaic (Version 1.0) using Hapke photometric function as seen in Sato et al. The LRO strips are quite large, so you may find it useful to employ the clipping techniques I describe on this page to reduce the size of the image you’re having to process. So, first fire up QGIS, then add the two most important files, namely the IMG ones that show the ground surface and elevation. Or you could just trust that the nice LRO people have done a good job and use their files. Once you’ve loaded up the entire moon, it then becomes possible to use the kind of georeferencing procedures I describe here to superimpose a higher resolution IMG file in the right place. You could, if you were really keen, load global image packages (anything from 2- 4 Gb a time) from LRO pages like this one. If you have downloaded raw files with no georeferencing work done you’ll find this very difficult as it is hard work to get the coordinate systems used in large DEM surface models with the much smaller IMG photography - hence the usefulness of the RDR search function listed above. Well, we can again resort to the software discussed on other pages, QGIS. That takes care of dealing with the images in 2D, what about in 3D? Once it’s open you can then mess around with the image as you would any other. You may get a message about the image size, which you can ignore. Image lines corresponds to height and Line samples corresponds to width. You’ll come up against a dialogue box where you’ll need to enter the image details that were on the page from which you got the image.
