15-S-Aristarchus Crater-3D.jpgAristarchus Crater, from Lunar Orbiter 5 (3D)99 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".

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)".

20-Aristarchus Crater.jpgAristarchus Crater95 visiteCaption 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)".

22-Dawes Crater-lo5_m70[1].jpgDawes Crater93 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Lunar Orbiter 5 image of Dawes Crater. Dawes Crater is 18 Km in diameter and appears to be a relatively young Lunar Lrater. The Crater is about 600 m deep. North is up (Lunar Orbiter 5, frame M-70)".
Nota: questo frame, sebbene molto suggestivo, è pesantemente intaccato dalla presenza di artefatti fotografici.
Attenzione, quindi, allorchè operate analisi ed interpretazioni.

13-Flamsteed Crater.jpgFlamsteed Crater and Oceanus Procellarum90 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Lunar Orbiter 4 image showing the 20 Km Flamsteed Crater on the Moon. Flamsteed is the large crater near the bottom of the image. A broken ring of bright ridges, probably the rim of an older crater nearly covered by the later Oceanus Procellarum mare basalts, can be seen. The ring is about 100 Km in diameter, and a concentric wrinkle ridge is evident within the ring. The Surveyor 1 spacecraft landed in the upper right portion of the ring. North is up (Lunar Orbiter 4, frame 143-H2)".

40-Ranger8.jpgMare Tranquillitatis and Sabine Crater88 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Ranger 8 image of the Mare Tranquillitatis (Sea of Tranquillity) area of the Moon taken from 511 Km about 4 minutes before surface impact. The 30 Km diameter Sabine crater is at upper left. Note the two linear features at the center of the frame and rugged region at the bottom. The frame is about 95 Km across and North is up. The Apollo 11 landing site is about 30 Km to the right of this area (Ranger 8, B045)".

06-Oceanus Procellarum.jpgOceanus Procellarum86 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Northward oblique view of the Marius Hills and Oceanus Procellarun on the Moon taken by LO 2. The hills are named after the 41 Km diameter crater Marius, at the upper right at 11,8°N, 50,8° W and are thought to be volcanic domes, plugs and cones. Note the wrinkle ridges which also stretch across the image (Lunar Orbiter 2, frame M-213)".

38-Ranger8.jpgCampanus, Mercator and Gassendi Crater in Mare Cognitum84 visiteCaption 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)".
