Chinese experts Monday announced that the country’s space scientists had completed the world’s highest-resolution three-dimensional map of the moon. The map, covering the whole surface of the moon, was made based on image data obtained by a charge-coupled device (CCD) stereo camera carried by the Chang’e-1, China’s first lunar probe. The map’s spatial resolution -- measured by the distance of two features within an image that can be clearly defined -- is 500 metres.
