Interesting image, but heavily edited colors. It's detailed for sure. I'm always having trouble with size and dimensions when it comes to the moon. Are there images projecting the exact size of some of earth's big cities or continents on moons surface? I guess a city like New York or Tokyo would take up probably most of the visible area in that image?

The moon is about 1/4 the diameter of the earth. Definitely closer to the scale of continents than cities. I'm not sure Tokyo or New York would be particularly visible.
