If you, like me, liked the QuickMap service of the Moon before - well, you should love it now.
(for some reason, the address for the homepage for the QuickMap service is obscenely long. I don't know, maybe it is a glitch they haven't fixed. So i ran it through bit.ly)
(it should be just http://quickmap.lroc.asu.edu, but as soon as it loads, it adds on a suffix that's so long, the chat text box says the message is too long)

a whole bunch of new Chandrayaan data... Boolean layers...
data from LAMP, LEND, and the LRO's mini-RF
and a bunch of other layers that i don't really get what they are showing... but they're new...
