Between February 26 and April 22, 1994, Clementine was able to deliver more than 1.8 million digital images of the moon. About 50,000 Clementine images were processed to produce four orthographic views of the Moon. This image projection is centered at 0 degree latitude and 180 degrees longitude. Mare Moscoviense (dark albedo feature upper left of image center) and South Pole-Aitken Basin (dark feature at bottom) represent maria regions largely absent on the lunar farside.
