APOLLO 15 AS 15 85-11488.jpgAS 15-85-11488 - Western side of Mt Hadley216 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This frame is part of Jim's first Station 6 pan and shows the now-sunlit western face of Mt. Hadley.
The lineations (---->striature) visible on the mountain are generally believed to be a lighting effect due to the long shadows cast by small-scale undulations at this very-low sun angle. In the foreground we can see the tracks made by the Rover as Dave and Jim approached Station 6".Gen 06, 2005

APOLLO 15 AS 15 85-11425.jpgAS 15-85-11425 - Northern rille224 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This frame from Jim's Station 2 pan gives a spectacular view up the rille to the north. Note the fresh-raised-rim crater at the right side of the frame. This crater is southwest of Elbow and has a considerable amount of blocky ejecta around it. This crater can also be seen in several pictures taken through the 500-mm lens from Stations 9 and 10".Gen 06, 2005

APOLLO 15 AS 15 84-11324.jpgAS 15-84-11324 - The Lunar Module and Pluton Crater in the background255 visiteUn'immagine splendida: questo è l'unico possibile commento a questo frame che, secondo la NASA:"Twenty years after the mission, this 500-mm photo was still Dave's favorite. It shows the LM as seen from Station 6, with Pluton Crater in the background". Noi siamo d'accordo con David Scott.Gen 06, 2005

APOLLO 15 AS 15 84-11309.jpgAS 15-84-11309 - Up to the top of Mt Hadley364 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This is the first in a vertical strip of 500mm images of Mt. Hadley taken by Dave Scott from Station 6.
Two sets of linear features can be seen on the mountain: a set running diagonally down from the upper right to the lower left and a nearly horizontal set dipping down slightly to the left. The diagonal set is the more prominent when the mountain is viewed as a whole and these are believed to be due to lighting effects. The features in the horizontal set, when viewed from lunar orbit, appear to be benches that may have resulted from slumping on the steep mountain face". Gen 06, 2005

APOLLO 15 AS 15 84-11247.jpgAS 15-84-11247 - The western base of Mt Hadley360 visiteSpettacolare frame che riprende le pendici del versante occidentale del Monte Hadley: una "piccola montagna" (piallata, come la quasi totalità delle colline e dei monti della Luna) che ha comuque riservato - ci pare - agli Astronauti ed a noi un grande quantitativo di sorprese (oltre che una serie di scorci davvero splendidi).Gen 06, 2005

APOLLO 15 AS 15 82-11101.jpgAS 15-82-11101 - "Slickensides" rocks (1)979 visiteCross-Sun "before" from the north of the "slickensides" rock. A "slickensides" is a smooth surface created when two rock faces slide across each other.
Noi, dopo aver preso atto di quanto detto in questa caption originale, ci domandiamo "che cosa" possa spingere due rocce a sfregarsi l'una contro l'altra sino a diventare lisce.
Se lo "sfregamento" avviene sulla Luna, poi, la domanda diventa ancora più interessante...Gen 06, 2005
