The Moon in 1910

"Buried in the archives of the Centre for Planetary Science at UCL/Birkbeck is a glimpse into the role of the amateur, a century ago: a 1910 map of the Moon by Walter Goodacre, reproduced here as a huge 400 megapixel image."

More recently: Cassini imagery of a giant storm 15,000 kilometres in width and 300,000 kilometres long in the northern hemisphere of Saturn.
