Second test of those new NASA texture and bump maps of the Earth's moon. View this full size and zoom in to see the details, especially close to the terminator lines. You can download the bump map and colour map at huge resolutions and use them with a sphere in your 3D software. Here I again used Blender because it is the fastest rendering 3D software I have, and it looks rather nice for the effort of just a few minutes. NASA did most of the work of course when they prepared the maps! I'll use proper star maps at some stage to generate the correct stars but for now the stars in these images are rather crude. Thanks are due to NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio for the work in preparing these maps. I used a bump and colour map both 16384 pixels by 8192 for these renders. Go get the maps if you want them here: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4720
