NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has been circling around the moon for almost a decade now. During this course, it has collected a ton of photographs and data on the moon‘s surface.   That data is now available for visual artists in the form of a 3D map with depth information.

The space agency released the map in September, but, was highlighted by TechCrunch last Saturday.
