15-S-Aristarchus Crater-3D.jpgAristarchus Crater, from Lunar Orbiter 5 (3D)88 visiteUno 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".Ott 07, 2005

OO-APOLLO 11 - TV IMAGE.jpg"Hello to the World!" (TV - Live from the Moon)133 visiteArmstrong "saluta" il Mondo, il Mondo "salutava" Armstrong: l'Uomo era arrivato sulla Luna.
Pochi anni dopo, tutta questa epopea (forse una delle più grandi nella Storia dell'Umanità), veniva svillaneggiata e derisa grazie alla smania di notorietà dell'Ing. Kaysing e, forse, grazie anche alla necessità di "coprire il copribile".
"...Meglio far credere all'Umanità che non ci siamo mai stati, piuttosto che dire all'Umanità quello che ci abbiamo trovato..."Set 23, 2005

APOLLO 10 AS 10-29-4296.jpgAS 10-29-4296 - Maskelyne Crater and the "directional rockets"141 visiteUn cratere fra i più spettacolari (e meno conosciuti...) dal nome intrigante: Maskelyne. A proposito: il nome Maskelyne non è di fantasia, anzi. Il personaggio dal quale il cratere prende il nome è Sir Nevil Maskelyne, Quinto Astronomo di Sua Maestà Britannica, nato a Londra nel 1732 e morto a Greenwich nel 1811 (nota per evitare confusioni e gaffes: Sir Nevil Maskelyne è quasi omonimo dell'illusionista John Nevil Maskelyne, nato a Cheltenham nel 1839 e morto a Londra nel 1917!).Feb 12, 2005

49-Rangers9.jpgThe last images from Ranger 984 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This image shows the last 2 pictures taken by Ranger 9 before impact onto the Lunar Surface. The images show the floor of Alphonsus Crater at 12.84° S, 2.39° W. North is at 1:00 in both images. The top image was taken by camera P3 at a distance of 600 m just 0,25 seconds before impact. The frame is about 70 m across. The lower frame is from camera P1. It includes most of the area on the left of the P3 frame and was taken from 1,2 Km 4,5 seconds prior to impact. The image is approximately 50 meters across. Part of the P3 frame is missing because Ranger 9 did not finish transmitting before impact. These were the last images from the Ranger Programme, which ended with this Mission (Ranger 9, P012)".
