NASA, using radar imaging in California, has created the best images of the Moon's south pole ever. These images have up to 40 times more resolution than the images taken by Clementine in 1994. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter due to launch later this year, should have twice as much resolution as this image.
[update 2/29/08] New Scientist has some YouTube clips of a lunar lander based on these new images.
