27-Farside-Luna3.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)".

23-Farside-Luna3.jpgThe Moon from "Luna 3"60 visiteCaption NASA originale:"The Luna 3 spacecraft returned the first views ever of the far side of the Moon. The first image was taken at 03:30 UT on 7 October 1959 at a distance of 63.500 Km after Luna 3 had passed the Moon and looked back at the sunlit far side. The last image was taken 40 minutes later from 66.700 Km. A total of 29 photographs were taken, covering 70% of the far side. The photographs were very noisy and of low resolution, but many features could be recognized. This close up view taken with the narrow angle camera shows the far side has fewer maria (the dark areas) than the near side. The image is centered at 20° N, 95° E and the dark area to the left and just below center is Mare Marginus and below that Mare Smythii, just at the boundary between the near and far sides. The left half of the image shows the near side of the Moon, including the circular Mare Crisium at far left (Luna 3-26)".

22-Dawes Crater-lo5_m70[1].jpgDawes Crater83 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.

19-Oceanus Procellarum.jpgNorthern Oceanus Procellarum65 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Lunar Orbiter 5 view of a chain of elongated craters and low mounds in northern Oceanus Procellarum on the Moon. The chain continues to the south (down) of this image as a mare ridge. The chain may have been formed by upwelling of material along a line of weakness resulting in extension to form mounds and collapse to from the elongated craters. The crater at the upper left is about 7 Km in diameter (Lunar Orbiter 5, frame M-183)".

APOLLO 10 AS 10-30-4421-Dome-1.jpgAS 10-30-4421 - Mare Crisium: possible Lunar Dome (detail mgnf)140 visite...se non addirittura due - analizzando i frames dell'Apollo 10.
Il frame decisivo è, per essere precisi, quello contraddistinto dal seriale AS 10-30-4421.
Noi Vi offriamo le elaborazioni di Mr Bara ed il frame originale (però in versione compressa; la versione uncompressed la pubblicheremo non appena sarà in nostro possesso): guardate il lavoro svolto e poi fateci sapere che cosa ne pensate.
Noi ci congratuliamo con l'Amico Mike, perchè ha sicuramente fatto un lavoro eccellente; relativamente al Lunar Dome (anzi: ai Lunar Domes) che si dovrebbero vedere nell'immagine elaborata, non ci sentiamo di pronunciarci in maniera definitiva. I dati che possediamo ci dicono solo una cosa: una piccola porzione del rilievo montuoso fotografato dall'Apollo 10 ha un'albedo effettivamente molto alta (l'immagine non sembra mentire). Il Lunar Dome, però, noi non riusciamo proprio a vederlo.
Se ci riuscite Voi, fateci sapere che cosa ne pensate

APOLLO 4 AS 04-01-212.jpgAS 04-01-212 - The "Blue Planet" in transit (2)88 visite...la Luna (ergo dopo Apollo 17) ci siamo fermati?
Che cosa è successo?
Erano davvero "totalmente sprecati" i miliardi di Dollari impiegati nel Programma Spaziale?
La Luna non serviva davvero a nessuno?
Era meglio investire in "Scudi Spaziali" e "Polizia Internazionale"?
Ci siamo "ritirati" o "ci hanno mandati via"?...
Pensate a queste domande, di tanto in tanto, o magari la prossima volta che Vi troverete a guardare la Luna, magari dopo un temporale: credeteci, è il momento migliore!...

APOLLO 6 AS 06-02-819.jpgAS 06-02-819 - The Horizon of Earth105 visiteSolo poche parole per farVi notare, da questa immagine e per le prossime, non solo la nitidezza dei particolari e - ovviamente - la bellezza della Terra, ma anche l'incredibile risultato tecnologico ottenuto con dei mezzi che, visti i progressi (reali?!?) ottenuti negli ultimi 35 anni, fanno semplicemente sorridere. Abbiamo mandato decine di Uomini intorno alla Terra, fra la Terra e la Luna e sulla Luna, in 12 anni di Missioni. Ci sono stati incidenti, alcuni anche tragici (Apollo 1), ma non ci siamo mai...

01-Lunar_Orbiter_1_-_The_Moon_and_Earth.jpgCrescent Earth from the Lunar Orbiter 1 (credits: NASA/LOIRP)92 visiteCaption NASA:"Pictured above is the first image ever taken of the Earth from the Moon. The image was taken in 1966 by Lunar Orbiter 1 and heralded by then-journalists as the Image of the Century. It was taken about two years before the Apollo 8 crew snapped its more famous color cousin. Recently, modern technology has allowed the recovery of Higher Resolution images from old data sources such as Lunar Orbiter tapes than ever before. Specifically, recovery of the above image was initiated 20 years ago by Nancy Evans, and completed recently by Dennis Wingo and Keith Cowing who lead the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project.
Images like this one carry more than aesthetic value -- i.e.: by making a comparison to recent High Definition images of the Moon enables investigations into how the Moon has been changing".MareKromium

43-Ranger9.jpgMare Nubium panorama from Ranger 964 visiteCaption NASA originale:"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 southeastern Oceanus Procellarum. The 2 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)".
