Landing Site of the Chang'e-3 lunar lander located and marked at the center of a full (1.58 meters per pixel) resolution, 916 meter-wide field of view of the surface of Mare Imbrium. The preliminary official landing site was 44.12°N, 19.51°W, though the location marked was matched with sequential still video returned to Earth by Chang'e-3 during its landing sequence.
