The apod entry for November 18, 2011 is a picture of a colored topographical picture of the moon. The side of the moon on the picture is the side that cannot be seen by people on the Earth. This picture was taken by the Lunar Orbital Reconaissance Orbiter. Stereo overlap allows the pictures to be mounted on top of one another, thus allowing for a proper topographical image to be produced. This picture is very high in resolution with a resolution of 300 meters. White, red and purple represent lower areas, and areasof different colors represent higher areas.
