18-Rima Hadley.jpgHadley Rille85 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Lunar Orbiter 5 view of Hadley Rille and the surrounding region on the Moon. Hadley Rille is the sinuous depression running from the top to the bottom of the image. To the right are the 1 to 2 Km high Apennine mountains. Apollo 15 landed near the very rightmost extension of the rille, near the top of the image. The large crater in the center of the image is the 30 Km diameter Hadley C.
A HR image of the rille is available as L05-H105. North is up (Lunar Orbiter 5, frame M-105)".

15-V-Parry.jpgFrà Mauro, Parry and Bonpland Crater, from Lunar Orbiter 5 (3D)85 visiteOriginal caption:"Stereoscopic view of 3 adjoining craters; Frà Mauro to the North (left), Parry (upper right) and Bonpland (lower right). The area where the 3 rims meet is about 1200 meters higher than the crater floors. The two linear rilles form a "V" whose apex is at the left edge of the photograph. They dissect the crater floors and rims alike. The more westerly rille is bordered on the West (near the center of the anaglyph) by a chain of domes. The adjacent areas of the rille is nearly filled with dark, smooth material that appears to have come from the domes".

27-Zucchius Crater.jpgZucchius Crater85 visiteThis image of the central peaks of crater Zucchius was obtained by AMIE on 14 January 2006 from a distance of about 753 kilometres from the surface, with a ground resolution of 68 metres per pixel.
The imaged area is centred at a latitude of 61.3° South and longitude 50.8° West. Zucchius is a prominent lunar impact crater located near the southwest limb. It is 66 kilometres in diameter, but due to SMART-1's proximity to the surface, the AMIE field of view covers only the central 35 kilometres of the crater in this image.
Because of its location, the crater appears oblong-shaped due to foreshortening. It lies just to the south-southwest of the Segner crater, and northeast of the much larger Bailly walled-plain. To the southeast is the Bettinus crater, a formation only slightly larger than Zucchius.
Zucchius formed in the Copernican era, a period in the lunar planetary history that goes from 1200 million years ago to present times. Another example of craters from this period are Copernicus (about 800 milion years old) and Tycho (100 million years old). Craters from the Copernican era show characteristic ejecta ray patterns - as craters age, ejecta rays darken due to weathering by the flowing solar wind.
The hills near the centre of the image are the central peaks of the crater, features that form in large craters on the Moon. This type of feature is formed by the impact of a small asteroid onto the lunar surface. The surface is molten and, similarly to when a drop of water falls into a full cup of coffee, the hit surface bounces back and solidifies into the central peak.
The Zucchius crater is named after the Italian Mathematician and astronomer Niccolo Zucchi (1586-1670).
