Before and after images for the Chang’E 1 impact

Before and after images for the Chang’E 1 impact
Before and after images for the Chang’E 1 impact The top image is an Apollo 16 Panoramic Camera image with high sun and no topographic shadows. The resolution of the LRO image (bottom) has been reduced to approximate that of the Apollo image. The ejecta is indicated by the white arrow. These images can be ‘blinked’ (viewed alternately) to show the new feature unambiguously despite the low resolution. NASA / GSFC / ASU / Phil Stooke
