China released these these high-resolution images of the moon on Sunday (Feb. 5).
The detailed images are the first taken at a resolution of 7-meters-per-pixel, according to the state-run Xinhua news agency. The scientists have produced 746 images of the moon from high-resolution pictures taken between October 2010 and May 2011. The satellite is the second unmanned lunar orbiter to be sent to the moon as part of the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program (CLEP). The program expects to send five unmanned orbiters to explore, land and take samples from the moon. According to Xinhua, a manned mission is possible for 2025-2030.
