Matter of fact, it's all dark.

Maps are cool, right? Then astrogeological maps are even better. Wired wrote about these in November. If you're willing to go through the not-very-user-friendly-but-

This one's from the dark side of the moon.


Here are some of the maps as jpegs:
Mercury 1 | Mercury 2 | Moon 1 | Moon 2 | Moon 3 | Moon 4 | Moon 5
