APOLLO_15_-_AS15-84-11309_HR.jpgAS 15-84-11309 - The Texture of Hadley62 visite144:47:51 MT - This is the first in a vertical strip of 500mm images of Mt. Hadley taken by Dave Scott from Station 6. Two sets of linear features can be seen on the mountain: a set running diagonally down from the upper right to the lower left and a nearly horizontal set dipping down slightly to the left. The diagonal set is the more prominent when the mountain is viewed as a whole and these are believed to be due to lighting effects. The features in the horizontal set, when viewed from lunar orbit, appear to be benches that may have resulted from slumping on the steep mountain face. A full discussion can be found starting on page 5-11 in the Apollo 15 Preliminary Science Report.MareKromium

APOLLO_14_AS_14-66-9290_(HR).jpgAS 14-66-9290 (HR) - Looking for the Blue Flare... (2)56 visiteMa si tratterà poi davvero della Blue Flare che ha colto di sorpresa ed ha affascinato, assieme a migliaia di Private Researchers, anche la NASA, oppure siamo davanti ad un nuovo caso di superimposed image/photoartifact e cioè un dettaglio controverso (ergo - spesso - una possibile Anomalìa) il quale, assente nella versione raw del frame originale, poi appare misteriosamente nelle sue versioni digitalmente ripulite ed elaborate in HR?

APOLLO 15 AS 15-2405.jpgAS 15-2405 - Craters Messier and Messier "A"56 visiteMessier (1) and Messier A (2) are a pair of unusual craters in North-Western Mare Fecunditatis. Messier is elliptical and has bright walls and light rays of ejecta extending at right angles to its long axis (approx. 16,5 Km). Messier A is a doublet crater having two very long rays or filaments of ejecta extending Westward from it. The east part of the doublet has steep, bright walls, whereas the west part is dark and appears mantled. Differences between the two parts are more clearly shown in this oblique view of Messier A (see AS 16-4471). Both craters resemble some small experimental impact craters produced in sand by projectiles following shallow trajectories (4° or less from the horizontal) at velocities of approximately 1,7 Km/s. In separate experiments using single projectiles, both elliptical craters with lateral ejecta lobes and doublet craters have been produced. Thus, it can be inferred that these lunar craters were produced by high velocity projectiles following shallow trajectories. By further analogy with the experiments, the projectiles that formed Messier and Messier A apparently traveled from east to west".

APOLLO 16 AS 16-120-19268.jpgAS 16-120-19268 - King Crater55 visiteThe similarity in appearance of the Southern part of the central peak and the slump terraces on the Southern wall of the crater is emphasized in this oblique view of the crater King.
The parallelism of the two arms of the central peak and the Southern segment of the peak suggests that the unique shape of the structure is caused by a preexisting tabular body that was excavated during the formation of the crater.
Numerous comical structures with summit pits are present on the crater floor in the lower right part of the photograph.

APOLLO 16 AS 16-122-19580.jpgAS 16-122-19580 - King Crater53 visiteThis vertical view of the crater King on the Lunar Far-Side was taken with the Apollo 16 Hasselblad camera. King, approx. 75 Km in diameter and 4 Km deep, is one of the most interesting features on the Far-Side. It is a superb example of a youthful, large crater. It attracted much attention and was the object of numerous scientific studies (Young, Brennan and Wolfe, 1972).
King is the freshest crater on the Far-Side in its size range. Among its many interesting features are:
1) a unique lobster-claw-like central peak;
2) a flat poollike area of dark material on the North rim believed to have once been molten;
3) a very-well-developed field of fine ejecta extending outward for approx. two crater diameters, and
4) a massive landslide on the South-East rim (see arrow).
In this view the Southern part of the central peak has a distinctly ropey appearance and is segmented parallel to the terraces of the adjacent crater wall. The low Sun illumination enhances the fine texture of King's ejecta. Northeast of King the ejecta mantles an old large crater and in the southwest corner of the picture it mantles a relatively smooth terra unit. The slightly raised plateau on which the crater is situated may be part of the ring of an old basin.
