APOLLO 10 AS 10-31-4562 ALBEDO.jpgAS 10-31-4562 - Bright Crater (1)111 visiteAlbedo, ovvero: quella frazione della luce ricevuta da una superficie e che viene da essa diffusa. L'albedo, dunque, dipende dalla costituzione della superficie (cioè da cosa essa "è fatta"). E' naturale che una superficie completamente ghiacciata (come Enceladus) o ammantata di nuvole (come Venere o la Terra stessa) avrà un'albedo maggiore di una superficie rocciosa e scura. La Luna, per esempio - e nonostante le apparenze che potrebbero ingannare -, assorbe più del 90% della luce solare che riceve e...55555

APOLLO 9 AS 09-19-2948.jpgAS 09-19-2948 - The "Blue Planet" and something else... (1)172 visiteMissione Apollo 9: la Luna si avvicina, ma queste immagini si riferiscono ad alcune operazioni di training degli astronauti svolte in orbita intorno alla Terra. In questa immagine si possono vedere svariati oggetti: due sono certamente opera dell'Uomo e sono componenti dell'Apollo 9. Ma il piccolo oggetto rotondeggiante e luminoso che si vede sul lato inferiore dell'immagine, verso la Dx di chi guarda, cos'è? Una componente della Navicella da cui la fotografia viene scattata?
O forse un detrito,...

APOLLO 6 AS 06-02-936.jpgAS 06-02-936 - Earth117 visite...riuscito fra un aereo di linea ed un'astronave: lo Space Shuttle. Ci sarebbe molto da pensare e da dire, ma non riteniamo che questa sia la giusta sede. Ci limitiamo solo a stigmatizzare il fatto che quello che oggi sembra impossibile, è stato brillantemente raggiunto 35 anni fa, mentre quello che 35 anni fa sembrava il punto di partenza di un Programma di Esplorazione Umana del Sistema Solare destinato a portare l'Uomo su Marte entro la metà degli anni '80, è oggi una chimera. Un sogno, o poco più.55555

52-The Shard-03-ZOND-3.jpgThe famous "Shard", on the Moon (4)105 visiteUn interessante frammento originale (integrato da qualche annotazione, più o meno condivisibile, della Scuola del Prof. Hoagland) di un giornale del 1965 che riportava alcune immagini "lanciate" a Terra dalla Sonda Sovietica ZOND-3.

"...Zond 3 was launched from a Tyazheliy Sputnik Earth orbiting platform towards the Moon and Interplanetary Space.
The spacecraft was equipped with an f106 mm camera and TV system that provided automatic inflight film processing. On July 20/'65 lunar flyby occurred approx. 33 hours after launch at a closest approach of 9200 Km 25 pictures of very good quality were taken of the Lunar Far-Side from distances of 11.570 to 9.960 Km over a period of 68 minutes.
The photos covered about 19.000.000 square/km of the lunar surface. Photo transmissions by facsimile were returned to Earth from a distance of about 2,2 MKM and were retransmitted from a distance of 31,5 MKM (some signals still being transmitted from the distance of the orbit of Mars), thus proving the ability of the communications system. After the lunar flyby, Zond 3 continued space exploration in a heliocentric orbit..."

15-V-Parry.jpgFrà Mauro, Parry and Bonpland Crater, from Lunar Orbiter 5 (3D)81 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".55555

15-U-Tobias.jpgTobias Mayer Crater, from Lunar Orbiter 5 (3D)89 visiteOriginal caption:"Stereoscopic view of an area sw of the Crater Tobias Mayer in Oceanus Procellarum. The highland ridge in the middle portion of the anaglyph is about 35 Km long and 2 Km high. A smooth mare dome abuts the western flank of the ridge. The dome is about 20 Km in diameter and exhibits an elongate summit crater, about 5 Km long.
A sinuous rille meanders across the lower part of the photograph, detouring around the base of the dome. Note the presence of several crater chains in the lower half and a large highland mass at upper left".

15-T-SchroteriVallis.jpgSchroteri Valley, from Lunar Orbiter 5 (3D)90 visiteOriginal caption:"Stereoscopic view of a part of Schroter's Valley, the meandering depression running from the upper right to the lower left corner of the anaglyph. This rille is about 7 Km wide and up to 1300 m deep. Within its flat floor is a second, sinuous rille whose tightly packed meandor loops are about 200 m deeper. The ridge that is seen in the upper left portion of the photograph is about 1600 m higher than the plateau surface into which the Valley is cut".55555

27-Farside-Luna3~0.jpgThe first - noisy - close-up of the Far-Side of the Moon from "Luna 3"56 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This close up view taken with the narrow angle camera shows the far side has fewer maria (the dark areas) than the near side. This image is centered at 17° N, 110° E, the dark region below and left of center is Mare Smythii, the bright crater above and left of center is Giordano Bruno. North is up (Luna 3-6)".55555
