Researchers are gradually building a map of the side of the Moon visible from Earth. Videos will be archived on this page with latest animations at top.
This movie shows a mosaic of 70-cm radar data for the Moon, using a map projection that places the center of the Earth-facing side at top, and rotates around the limb starting from the north pole, along the east side to the south pole, and back again along the west side.
Dr. Bruce Campbell explains
the basics of radar mapping.
