Any sites have multiple over lap ( especially in the pre-digital era, ) nasa as a 'de-facto' military information gathering unit uses multiple redundancy as a standard procedure . It's in the protocol, if you can't be bothered to check why should you be answering as a mod on this subject?

Of course he means 'albedo' - but you knew that anyway. A digital slip of the tongue, perhaps.
At the end of the day, the man is obviously highly informed, so who can really say?
My personal thoughts? I don't know, but suspect there are some pretty awesome things going on up there.
Moon's surface was covered completely during the two month lunar mapping phase of the mission.
Note how they curve and converge together at the North and South Poles. These lines are reportedly the result of imaging composite effects. It works like this, the individual images are taken during orbital paths from the South to North Poles and then shifting over west about 2.3 degrees per each next orbit. The individual images are ultimately put together to form a mosiac whole like the two global images you see above. These image orbital "path" lines can be better seen by viewing the much larger imaging of the PIA00302 Near Side and the PIA00304 Far Side official links offering a much larger view.
, so we should have a very interesting "wireframed" hi-res 'vivsible' moon as .4 degrees substracted from 2.3 is 1.9 or less than 18% of the moons surface being photographed in hi-res , which was one of the missions goals.
The field of view was 0.3 x 0.4 degrees, translating to a width of about 2 km at a nominal lunar altitude of 400 km
with a bandpass of 400 to 800 nm, four narrow-band filters with center wavelengths (and bandpass width (FWHM)) of 415 nm (40 nm), 560 nm (10 nm), 650 nm (10 nm), and 750 nm (20 nm),...the nominal imaging rate was about 10 frames per second in individual image bursts covering all filters at the Moon

I'm the discoverer.
I guess this would mean I'm in on it with NASA or they baited me with an irresistible title and I am just a simple pawn in their cruel game.
But using the wrong words may confuse the people that are interested in this subject but not yet familiar with the more technical terms.

Well, that doesn't explain why there are areas missing from here and some photos missing here (for example). That's why I said that the coverage was not complete.
but as to the : "not completely covered " comment (phage/armap):
wiki
Moon's surface was covered completely during the two month lunar mapping phase of the mission.
What strip are you talking about?
o.k so let's say the hi-res ( as nasa says) is for "special areas of interest:" that means the strip we are looking at was targeted as a SPECIAL AREA OF INTEREST, why ?
Doesn't print use CMYK instead of RGB+Y? Also, the camera had five filters, not four, on that list is missing the 400 nm to 950 nm broadband filter.
415=purple, 560=yellow( big jump from purple ), 650=red/orange, and 750, out of the visible spectrum ( hence ultra violet ) , interesting color scheme, seeing as television and print adopted an RGB (+Y for print) as best for human vision ( after several decades of testing ) but NASA chose PYR, which seriously deteriorates anything blue, but still:
The time between photos was bigger than microseconds, the readout time was 27.4 milliseconds and the integration time between 0.2 and 733 milliseconds. The step and settle time of the stepper motor driving the filter wheel was less than 250 milliseconds. Based on the above, I guess that the time between consecutive photos was something between 0.25 and 1 seconds, and I don't think that that time was enough to get enough difference in two consecutive photos to make a stereo image.
ahaaha four colors (like a comic book of old m even though one of the colors is invisible to humans ) , but with only three of them visible and microsecond differences in position when captured , small but enough again to construct a 3-d model , in fact they are almost perfectly timed for a stereoscopic effect using more than just blue and red , given that computers have as many eyes as is necessary for perspective
Could you please explain in what sense are you using the word "protocol"? I am getting a little confuse with the use of the word, probably because English is not my language. Thanks in advance.
so it would seem protocol is important , if answering as a non-mod, ats...

Aliens aren't real bro.
Why are you here?
We have this border around the post, but I don't like it.
