The topographic map shows elevations on the moon using data from the spacecraft's Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter, ranging from blue (low altitudes) to gray (higher altitudes).

The map unifies six separate maps of the moon's topography for the most accurate and in-depth visual of the moon ever. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Scientists have stitched together the highest-resolution topographic map of the moon ever created, using observations made by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft.
