Volcanic_Features-Lava_or_Mud_Flows-00.jpgControversial Features of Zephyria Planum (Original NASA/MGS/MSSS b/w Frame)58 visiteOriginal caption:"This MGS-MOC image shows a portion of a shallow Channel carved in the Plains of the Zephyria Region of Mars. This feature might be the result of the passing of either extremely fluid Lava or, perhaps, Mud".
Location near: 5,1° North Lat. and 203,7° West Long.
Image width: ~3 Km (~1.9 mi)

South_Polar_Features-Swiss_Cheese_Terrain-00.JPGEarly Fall at the South Pole58 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows a portion of the South Polar Residual Cap. The darkened edges of the pits and mesas are evidence of the removal — by sublimation — of frozen CO2 during the recent Martian Summer.
Summer ended and Autumn began in January 2006, shortly before this image was acquired".
Location near: 86,8° South; 90,5° West

ra8_b045.jpgThe Moon from Ranger-8: Mare Tranquillitatis (5)58 visiteCaption NASA:"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)".MareKromium

ra9_a001.jpgThe Moon from Ranger-9: Alphonsus Crater (1)58 visiteCaption NASA:"The first Ranger 9 image of the Moon, taken with the A camera from a distance of 2378 Km. The image is centered on the Mare Nubium Region of the Moon, which extends to the bottom of the image. At upper left is South-Eastern Oceanus Procellarum. The two craters with the central peaks at right are Alphonsus, diameter 108 Km and below it Arzachel, diameter 96 Km. The crater near the center at about 8:00 is 60 Km Bullialdus. The frame is approximately 1050 Km across and North is at 12:30. The final impact point of Ranger 9 is in the Alphonsus Crater, midway between the central peak and rim at about 1:30 (Ranger 9, A001)".MareKromium

ra8_b090.jpgThe Moon from Ranger-8: Mare Tranquillitatis (7)58 visiteCaption NASA:"Ranger 8 camera B image of the Moon about 5 seconds before impact. Ranger 8 impact took place on 20 February 1965 at 9:57:37 UT. This picture was taken from a distance of 11 Km.
The area is in the Sea of Tranquillity about 2° North of the Apollo 11 Landing Site. The frame is about 2 Km across and North is up.
Features as small as 4 mt across can be seen (Ranger 8, B090)".MareKromium
