NASA image release November 16, 2011
The science team that oversees the imaging system on board NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has released the highest resolution near-global topographic map of the moon ever created.
This new topographic map, from Arizona State University in Tempe, shows the surface shape and features over nearly the entire moon with a pixel scale close to 100 meters (328 feet). A single measure of elevation (one pixel) is about the size of two football fields placed side-by-side.

Metro, Subway, Tube, Underground. Different names for the same thing. Many cities have one and they all have maps so we can use them. Some are schematic, such as the London Underground Map, some are more geographically realistic, like the New York Subway Map, but they are all works of art in their own right. Now what if the cities of the world were linked by a metro system? Well that's what I've done here my with my artistic interpretation of a World Metro Map.
The design leans more towards the realistic style (New York Subway Map) rather than schematic style (London Underground Map). I felt this makes it visually appealing yet still easily recognizable.
The downside of taking the more realistic approach was evident in the dense area of Europe. It was difficult to choose the cities for this region due to the limited space available. Whilst some locations didn't make it to the finished artwork, I feel that the major historic cities of Europe are well represented.

Iceland 1595
This map by Abraham Ortelius depicts Iceland in great detail, including its mountains, fjords, glaciers and a depiction of Mount Hekla erupting. The map includes over 200 place names, primarily Danish in origin.
The map illustrates a variety of legendary and mythical sea monsters and creatures of the 15th and 16th Century.
In our visit to Bhutan, we will land in Paro, then travel east to tour the capital Thimphu and the historic sights further east in Punakha and Phodrang. Besides the stunning natural scenery, the enduring draw of the country is the strong sense of culture and tradition that binds the kingdom and clearly distinguishes it from its larger neighbors. Bhutan is the only Vajrayana Buddhist nation in the world, and the profound teachings of this tradition remain well preserved and exert a strong influence in all aspects of life here.
Mounds of dirt, crowned with asphalt roofs, pock-mark the suburban wasteland.
