Kaguya-025-hdtv_002_6c.jpgSome Lunar Geography from Kaguya: the Apollo "Plain" and Onizuka Crater (FarSide)55 visiteApollo Plain - Coord.: 36,1° South Lat. and 151,8° West Long.; Diam.: about 537 Km
Onizuka Crater - Coord.: 36,2° South Lat. and 148,9° West Long.; Diam.: about 29 Km
Note: Ellison Onizuka (1946-1986) was an American Astronaut. He actually was the 1st Asian-American who flew into space and he died in the tragic explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger, in 1986 (that would have been his second flight mission).MareKromiumFeb 27, 2008

Kaguya-012-20071128_kaguya_tc02_03_l.jpgDyson Crater (1)72 visiteCaption JAXA:"The Terrain Camera (TC) can observe the Moon surface during the day-time of the Moon using 2 cameras that respectively face the slightly diagonal forelooking and afterlooking of the satellite. It can take 3-D (stereo) images of the Moon's globe with a world's first Super High Definition (SHD) of 10 meters.
3-D terrain images acquired by TC HighRes Stereo-Pair Cameras are important data to study the evolution process of the Moon's unique terrain.
With detailed investigation of the crater distribution, we can estimate more precisely when each area of the Moon has been formed and can study more details of when the Moon was born and how its inside and surface have been changing.
Furthermore, data acquired by the TC is expected to be useful for studying topographical characteristics and illumination map to determine the best location for a future Moon base and to consider manned activities on the Moon".MareKromiumDic 02, 2007
