20-Aristarchus Crater.jpg
Aristarchus Crater72 visteCaption NASA originale:"Lunar Orbiter 5 view of Aristarchus Crater. Aristarchus is approximately 40 Km in diameter and 3,6 Km in depth from rim to floor. Note the hummocky ejecta blanket surrounding the crater and the concentric and radial valleys along the Crater walls, resulting from mass gravity wasting. North is up (Lunar Orbiter 5, frame M-197)".

Location & Time Information
Date/Time (UT): 1967-08-18 T 08:59
Distance/Range (km): 130
Central Latitude/Longitude (deg): +23.06/312.58
22-Dawes Crater-lo5_m70[1].jpg
Dawes Crater68 visteCaption NASA originale:"Lunar Orbiter 5 image of Dawes Crater. Dawes Crater is 18 Km in diameter and appears to be a relatively young Lunar Lrater. The Crater is about 600 m deep. North is up (Lunar Orbiter 5, frame M-70)".

Nota: questo frame, sebbene molto suggestivo, è pesantemente intaccato dalla presenza di artefatti fotografici.
Attenzione, quindi, allorchè operate analisi ed interpretazioni.

23-Farside-Luna3.jpg
The Moon from "Luna 3"43 visteCaption NASA originale:"The Luna 3 spacecraft returned the first views ever of the far side of the Moon. The first image was taken at 03:30 UT on 7 October 1959 at a distance of 63.500 Km after Luna 3 had passed the Moon and looked back at the sunlit far side. The last image was taken 40 minutes later from 66.700 Km. A total of 29 photographs were taken, covering 70% of the far side. The photographs were very noisy and of low resolution, but many features could be recognized. This close up view taken with the narrow angle camera shows the far side has fewer maria (the dark areas) than the near side. The image is centered at 20° N, 95° E and the dark area to the left and just below center is Mare Marginus and below that Mare Smythii, just at the boundary between the near and far sides. The left half of the image shows the near side of the Moon, including the circular Mare Crisium at far left (Luna 3-26)".

The left half of the image shows the near side of the Moon, including the circular Mare Crisium at far left. The Moon is 3475 km in diameter and north is up (Luna 3-27)".
25-Farside-Luna3.jpg
The Far-Side of the Moon from "Luna 3"51 visteCaption NASA originale:"This is the second image returned by Luna 3, taken by the wide-angle lens, it showed the far side of the Moon was very different from the near side, most noticeably in its lack of lunar maria (the dark areas). The right three-quarters of the disk are the far side. The dark spot at upper right is Mare Moscoviense, the dark area at lower left is Mare Smythii. The small dark circle at lower right with the white dot in the center is the crater Tsiolkovskiy and its central peak. The Moon is 3475 Km in diameter and north is up in this image (Luna 3-2)".
26-Farside-Luna3.jpg
The first - noisy - close-up of the Moon from "Luna 3"37 visteCaption NASA originale:"This is the first close-up view of the Moon returned, taken with the narrow angle camera. This image is centered at 20° N, 105° E, the dark region below and left of center is Mare Smythii, the bright crater above and left of center is Giordano Bruno. North is up. (Luna 3-3)".
27-Farside-Luna3.jpg
The first - noisy - close-up of the Far-Side of the Moon from "Luna 3"40 visteCaption NASA originale:"This close up view taken with the narrow angle camera shows the far side has fewer maria (the dark areas) than the near side. This image is centered at 17° N, 110° E, the dark region below and left of center is Mare Smythii, the bright crater above and left of center is Giordano Bruno. North is up. (Luna 3-6)".
27-Farside-Luna3~0.jpg

This image is centered at 17° N, 110° E, the dark region below and left of center is Mare Smythii, the bright crater above and left of center is Giordano Bruno. North is up (Luna 3-6)".
28-Farside-Luna3.jpg
The Far-Side of the Moon from "Luna 3"40 visteCaption NASA originale:"This wide-angle view shows the far side of the Moon, comprising most of the image, with the near side making up about one-quarter of the disk at left. The dark patch at upper right is Mare Moscoviense and the dark areas at below and left of center are Mare Marginus and Mare Smythii. These are on the border between the near and far sides. The small dark circle at lower right is the crater Tsiolkovskiy. The image is centered at 15° N, 120° E; North is at 11:30 (Luna 3-phc6)".
29-Farside-Luna3.jpg
The Far-Side of the Moon from "Luna 3" (the best picture)33 visteCaption NASA originale:"This view shows the far side at right and the near side making up about one-third of the image at left. The circular dark patch below and left of center is mare Smythii, on the boundary between the near and far sides. Just above this is Mare Marginus. The dark circle at upper right is Mare Moscoviense and at lower right is the crater Tsiolkovskiy with its light central peak. The image is centered at 10° N, 110° E; North is at 11:30 (Luna 3-phc7)".
30-Tycho-S7.jpg
Tycho Crater from Surveyor 7 Lander107 visteCaption NASA originale:"Surveyor 7 mosaic of the rim area of Tycho from the highland region, north of the Crater. Surveyor 7 landed 10 January 1969 at 40.88° S, 11.45° W and took about 21.000 photos over a month, some of which were used to make up this mosaic. The block in the foreground is about half a meter across and the crater is about 1,5 meters in diameter. The hills on the horizon are about 13 Km away (Surveyor 7, 68-H-40)".

31-Ranger7.jpg
Mare Nubium: Alphonsus, Ptolemaeus and Arzachel Crater from Ranger 740 visteCaption NASA originale:"Ranger 7 took this image, the first picture of the Moon by a U.S. spacecraft, on 31 July 1964 at 13:09 UT (9:09 AM EDT) about 17 minutes before impacting the Lunar Surface. The area photographed is centered at 13° S, 10° W and covers about 360 Km from top to bottom. The large crater at center right is the 108 Km diameter Alphonsus. Above it is Ptolemaeus and below it Arzachel. The terminator is at the bottom right corner. Mare Nubium is at center and left. North is at about 11:00 at the center of the frame. The Ranger 7 impact site is off the frame, to the left of the upper left corner (Ranger 7, B001)".
