We're not sure how high-res you usually like your lunar photos, but we're darn near certain NASA has gone leaps and bounds beyond that with their latest mosaic.

We've seen 'Blue Marble' photos of Earth before, but this latest NASA photo is different: it's the first photo of its kind shot from above our planet's North Pole. The photo is a composite of images captured by a satellite as it passed over the North Pole 15 times at an altitude of 512 miles.
