The HTML markup produced by this template emits an Geo microformat, which makes the location's coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map. As yet, the standard for doing this for off-world bodies is still under development, but is supported in some microformat parsers (e.g. Swignition ).
This map is the first (1:2,500,000)-scale lunar global geologic map, which incorporates the most comprehensive knowledge about the Moon by taking advantage of the latest exploration results and scientific findings.

In 1834 Johann Heinrich von Mädler published the first large cartograph (map) of the Moon, comprising 4 sheets, and he subsequently published The Universal Selenography. [3] All lunar measurement was based on direct observation until March 1840, when J.W. Draper , using a 5-inch reflector, produced a daguerreotype of the Moon and thus ...
Geological studies of the Moon are based on a combination of Earth-based telescope observations, measurements from orbiting spacecraft, lunar samples, and geophysical data. . Six locations were sampled directly during the crewed Apollo program landings from 1969 to 1972, which returned 382 kilograms (842 lb) of lunar rock and lunar soil to Earth [8] In addition, three robotic Soviet Luna ...
To that end, scientists from NASA, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the Lunar Planetary Institute have created a detailed new map in stunning color. NASA's detailed moon map will ...

The Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M 3) is one of two instruments of NASA that was carried by India's first mission to the Moon, Chandrayaan-1, launched October 22, 2008. It is an imaging spectrometer , and the team is led by Principal investigator Carle Pieters of Brown University , and managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory .
