This shows a hypsometric map of the moon from Google Moon. It shows the elevations of different areas by color, with dark red being the highest possible elevation and blue being the lowest. This map is interesting because it shows the moon in a way most people haven't seen it before. Being able to map the elevation of the craters on the moon could help us understand the geological systems taking place there more completely.
