082-The Moon from Clem-NorthPole.jpg113 - Polar Areas: Views of the North Pole55 visiteMosaic of about 750 Clementine images of the North Pole of the Moon, from 80° North Lat. to the Pole (center). The Near-Side of the Moon is the bottom half of this mosaic and the top half is on the Far-Side. In contrast to the South Pole (slide #111), the North Pole shows very little area in permanent shadow (only about 500 square-Km). This suggests that any "cold traps" in this Region of the Moon are very restricted and little ice could be stable in this part of the Moon.

030-The Moon from Clem-Copernicus.jpg054 - Copernicus55 visiteCopernicus is a rayed crater, 97 Km in diameter, that formed about 800 MY ago. In this image of the Crater Copernicus, color differences are shown for the eastern half of the crater.
A false-color mosaic is created by making ratio images and assigning each to one of the 3 primary colors: the red channel is controlled by the 750/415-nnmts ratio; the green channel is controlled by the 750/950-nnmts ratio and the blue channel is controlled by the 415/750-nnmts ratio.

052-The Moon from Clem-Dionysus.jpg061 - Dionysius Crater (natural colors)58 visiteThe Crater Dionysius (3° North Lat. and, 17° East Long.; western edge of Mare Tranquillitatis; 18 Km in diameter) shows striking contrasts in albedo. The outside of the Crater is a very bright halo in its near-rim field, while farther out, darker material is exposed, including rare dark rays. Crater deposits on the left side of this mosaic are on light Cayley plains of highland composition, while deposits on the right side are on the basalts of Mare Tranquillitatis.
