Crescent Earth from the Lunar Orbiter 1 (credits: NASA/LOIRP)52 visteCaption NASA:"Pictured above is the first image ever taken of the Earth from the Moon. The image was taken in 1966 by Lunar Orbiter 1 and heralded by then-journalists as the Image of the Century. It was taken about two years before the Apollo 8 crew snapped its more famous color cousin. Recently, modern technology has allowed the recovery of Higher Resolution images from old data sources such as Lunar Orbiter tapes than ever before. Specifically, recovery of the above image was initiated 20 years ago by Nancy Evans, and completed recently by Dennis Wingo and Keith Cowing who lead the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project.
Images like this one carry more than aesthetic value -- i.e.: by making a comparison to recent High Definition images of the Moon enables investigations into how the Moon has been changing".

Crescent Earth from the Lunar Orbiter 174 visteCaption NASA originale:"Lunar Orbiter 1 new of the Moon and crescent Earth. This is the first good image of the Earth taken from the vicinity of the Moon, 380.000 km away. The Earth sunset terminator runs through Odessa, Istanbul and slightly west of Capetown. The center of the Lunar Surface corresponds to the location of the crater Pasteur, just on the eastern farside at 10° S,105° E, but the high sun angle makes it hard to see the craters. The horizon covers about 550 Km and north is to the right in this west facing image. (LO1 - frame 102; H1, H2, H3)".

Date/Time (UT): 1966-08-23 T 16:36:23
Distance/Range (km): 1476

Crescent Earth and a partly illuminated far-side of the Moon from Lunar Orbiter 485 visteCaption NASA originale:"Lunar Orbiter 4 photograph showing a crescent Earth and partly illuminated Moon. The lunar sunset terminator is at 140° E and runs through the large dark-floored crater Tsiolkovsky, about 240 Km diameter towards the bottom of the Moon. The part of the Moon visible in this image is the western far side. North is at 1:00. The frame has been turned upside down to give the correct orientation (Lunar Orbiter 4, frame M-123)".

Campanus, Mercator and Gassendi Crater in Mare Cognitum51 visteCaption NASA originale:"First full-frame image of the Moon taken by the Ranger 8 camera A from a distance of 2.573 km. The image was taken on 20 Feb. 1965 at 09:34 UT with the spacecraft at an altitude of 2510 Km. The central reticle is at 10.65° South Latitude, 22.4° West Longitude, in the Mare Cognitum area of the Moon. North is up and the picture extends 1200 Km across, from about 5° N to 30° S Latitude and from 5° W to 45° W Longitude. The craters Campanus and Mercator are visible at the bottom center. Gassandi crater (101 Km diameter) is the bright circle near the edge of the frame at 8:00. The Apollo 12 landing site is near top center and Apollo 14 slightly to the right of that (Ranger 8, A001)".

Bruce Crater and Sinus Medii70 visteCaption NASA originale:"Lunar Orbiter 3 oblique view of Bruce Crater in the foreground and the Sinus Medii Mare plain on the Moon. Bruce crater is 7 Km in diameter and 800 mt deep. Note the wrinkle ridges near the center of the image and the higher highland ridges in the background. The view is looking westward (Lunar Orbiter 3, frame M-84)".

Aristarchus Crater, from Lunar Orbiter 5 (3D)64 visteUno splendido frame, arricchito dalla tridimensionalità, per uno dei crateri più belli e misteriosi della nostra Luna.
Da vedere con attenzione.
Original caption:"Stereoscopic view of the crater Aristarchus, 40 km across and about 3.6 km deep. The floor is partially covered with material that slumped down the walls; its eastern portion (toward the top of the page), being least covered by this material, is the lowest and smoothest part. A long narrow central peak rises 300 meters above the floor. Note the terracing of the inner crater walls and also the elevation of the rim crest above the outer ejecta blanket".

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)".

Approaching Alphonsus Crater64 visteCaption NASA originale:"Ranger 9 image of Alphonsus Crater (diameter 108 Km) from a distance of 442 Km, taken about 3 minutes before impact in the upper right portion of the crater. At left is the northeastern edge of Mare Nubium. The crater adjacent to Alphonsus at the bottom is the 39 Km diameter Alpetragius. Davy Crater is at upper left. North is at 12:30. Ranger 9 impacted the Moon on 24 March 1965 at 14:08:20 UT (Ranger 9, A035)".

Apollo 10 - AS 10-4822: a VERY controversial frame: the Castle - detail mgnf (2)145 visteBellissima immagine e misteriosa oltre ogni misura ma...incommentabile.

Apollo 10 - AS 10-4822: a VERY controversial frame (1)156 visteUn fotogramma Apollo 10 famosissimo (e che Vi proponiamo in versione originale non compressa negli Archivi della Reserved Area) che ci porta, letteralmente, a metà strada fra Scienza e Fantascienza.
Un considerevole numero di Anomalie, infatti, è stato individuato (da più Ricercatori) in questo frame e, fra tutte, campeggia (alla Vostra Dx) quella conosciuta come "The Castle" (il suggestivo nome di battesimo datole dal Prof. Hoagland) che Vi proponiamo ancora come detail mgnf nel prossimo quadro.
Commenti? Impossibile farne: il frame è vecchio e rovinato (che cosa è reale, in esso, e che cosa è solo photo-artifact?) e noi, purtroppo, non abbiamo disponibili immagini recenti della stessa area.
Vedete Voi...
