Increase in Resolution

This graphic compares the enhanced resolution of the LOIRP image and the highest resolution image available online at LPI. Note the substantial increase in resolution with regard to the calibration marks at the bottom of this image. This image was taken on 23 August 1966 and restored by the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project at NASA Ames Research Center. Larger image. Credit: NASA/LOIRP
