Existing maps of the moon date back to the 1960s and 1970s. The new "Geologic Atlas of the Lunar Globe" took a decade in the making and is the work of over a hundred scientists. It depicts the moon in a scale of 1:2'500'000 which is twice as detailed compared to maps from the Apollo era. The maps are supposed to help future space missions. They are available in Chinese and English. A digital version for the scientific community is in the making
