Lunar photographic archives

Lunar photographic archives are organized collections of photographs of the Moon taken over many years by various space agencies, scientists, and explorers. These archives document the Moon’s surface features, craters, and geology, providing valuable data for research and exploration. They include images from lunar missions, telescopic observations, and historical photographs, preserved digitally or physically. These archives help scientists study the Moon's environment, plan future missions, and enhance our understanding of its composition and history. Essentially, they serve as a comprehensive visual record of humanity’s view of the Moon over time.
