FERMI-LAT is performing an all-sky gamma-ray survey from 30 MeV to 300 GeV with unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution. FERMI has detected high-energy gamma rays from the Moon produced by interactions of cosmic rays with the lunar surface. This radiation was previously observed by EGRET on CGRO with significantly lower statistical significance. We present the lunar analysis for the first six months of the Mission and showing images of the lunar gamma-ray emission. We also compare the flux measurements with models the earlier EGRET measurements.
