My nephew is a space junkie, and he told me about this fact of being able to see certain things on the moon surface. Fascinating!

For some reason I was thinking these moon images were taken by the Hubble Telescope or something, but it was actually the Lunar Reconnaissance Rover. Amazing detail!

You can see the lunar rover tracks in this image.
