LRO-M114308099LE-EDM-GravityWasting-MF-LXTT.jpgEvidence of Gravity Wasting (an High-Def Image Mosaic by Dr M. Faccin - Lunexit Team)105 visiteUn piccolo-grande Capolavoro regalatoci non solo dalle ottiche di cui è dotato il Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, ma anche dalla Pazienza del nostro Marco Faccin.
Il risultato? Portate il frame a pieno schermo e definizione completa e quindi...cercate anche Voi le evidenze di Gravity Wasting che caratterizzano i piedi della collina: ce ne sono tante!
Noi ne abbiamo evidenziate alcune, in una zona omogena. Ma c'è ancora TANTISSIMO da vedere...MareKromiumMar 18, 2010

LRO-2500-Bessel_Crater.jpgBessel (possible Natural Colors on a Radar Image; credits: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)92 visiteMini-RF S-band Zoom Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image strip through central Mare Serenitatis on the Near-Side of the Moon (approx. Long. of the strip ~ 18° East; center Lat. ~ 20° North).
The radar strip runs through the crater Bessel (inset; approx. 15 km (or about 9 mile) diameter; center at 21,8° North Lat. and 17,9° East Long.) and covers the highlands of the Haemus Mountains (on the Rim of the Serenitatis Basin) in its Southern (bottom) third.
The full-resolution SAR data are 30 mt (90 feet). The Streaks of bright and dark material in the Walls of Bessel probably reflect the blockiness of Landslides within the Crater, brighter Streaks having more blocks of the 10-cm (4") scale.
The radar strip covers a major geological boundary in Mare Serenitatis; the darker, lower Maria has higher Titanium content than central Serenitatis. We see this geological boundary in the Mini-RF radar image, caused by higher absorption of RF energy by the high content of the Iron-Titanium Oxide mineral "Ilmenite".
Thus, Mini-RF SAR images can be used to map the Titanium content of the Lunar Maria. The background image is part of the Clementine global mosaic.MareKromiumFeb 26, 2010

LRO-2500-Marius_Crater~0.jpgLandslides or unusual Surface-decoloration in Marius Crater? (Natural Colors; credits: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)79 visiteGrazie alla nostra Grande Amica e Partner Elisabetta Bonora, da oggi "Lunar Explorer Italia" è presente ed accessibile anche su Twitter.
Il nostro (e Vostro!) link - comunque già indicato nei "Links Suggeriti" nella Front Page di TruePlanets (sulla Dx) - è questo: http://twitter.com/lunexit .
Perchè questa "presenza" ulteriore?
Semplice, in un Mondo laddove la divulgazione della stupidità sembra costituire un trend in ascesa continua, noi (e Voi!) stiamo cercando di controbilanciare questa - orribile - tendenza mediante la Divulgazione della Ricerca, della Passione e, con tutti i nostri limiti, della Scienza.
Dalla Luna all'Infinito, naturalmente...

LRO-2500-Epigenes_A_Crater-3.jpgEpigenes A69 visiteImpact Melt (the dark material) flowed around and over Rocky Outcrops on the upper portion of the Crater Wall.
The white arrow points to the Crater Floor.
The initial outward surge of material during the excavation of the crater threw Impact Melt near the Rim and then gravity pulled the Melt downward during the modification stage of the impact.

LRO-2500-Epigenes_A_Crater-1.jpgEpigenes A79 visiteA plethora of Boulders surrounds braided flows of impact melt along the Inner Wall of the Crater Epigenes A. As the melt moves toward the Crater Floor (direction indicated by white arrow), the flow buries and moves boulders.
Epigenes A is an about 18-Km-diameter Impact Crater located at 66,9° North and 0,3° West, on the Rim of crater W. Bond.
