The Moon from CLEM-clm_usgs_18[1].jpgSchrodinger Impact Basin from Clementine149 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Clementine mosaic of the Schrodinger impact basin near the south pole of the Moon. The basin is 312 Km in diameter and centered at 67° S, 132° E. Note the smooth floor and the large inner ring. The dark area around the small crater just left of the center of the basin was probably caused by relatively recent volcanic ejecta. The South Pole is just off the upper left corner of the image (Clementine, USGS slide 18)".

31-Ranger7.jpgMare Nubium: Alphonsus, Ptolemaeus and Arzachel Crater from Ranger 759 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Ranger 7 took this image, the first picture of the Moon by a U.S. spacecraft, on 31 July 1964 at 13:09 UT (9:09 AM EDT) about 17 minutes before impacting the Lunar Surface. The area photographed is centered at 13° S, 10° W and covers about 360 Km from top to bottom. The large crater at center right is the 108 Km diameter Alphonsus. Above it is Ptolemaeus and below it Arzachel. The terminator is at the bottom right corner. Mare Nubium is at center and left. North is at about 11:00 at the center of the frame. The Ranger 7 impact site is off the frame, to the left of the upper left corner (Ranger 7, B001)".

20-Aristarchus Crater.jpgAristarchus Crater91 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Lunar Orbiter 5 view of Aristarchus Crater. Aristarchus is approximately 40 Km in diameter and 3,6 Km in depth from rim to floor. Note the hummocky ejecta blanket surrounding the crater and the concentric and radial valleys along the Crater walls, resulting from mass gravity wasting. North is up (Lunar Orbiter 5, frame M-197)".

13-Flamsteed Crater.jpgFlamsteed Crater and Oceanus Procellarum72 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Lunar Orbiter 4 image showing the 20 Km Flamsteed Crater on the Moon. Flamsteed is the large crater near the bottom of the image. A broken ring of bright ridges, probably the rim of an older crater nearly covered by the later Oceanus Procellarum mare basalts, can be seen. The ring is about 100 Km in diameter, and a concentric wrinkle ridge is evident within the ring. The Surveyor 1 spacecraft landed in the upper right portion of the ring. North is up (Lunar Orbiter 4, frame 143-H2)".

Copernicus crater extends across the background of the picture, about 100 Km in diameter. Note the radial ridges, mounds and cones around the crater. The keyhole shaped Fauth crater sits atop one of the ridges 60 Km south of Copernicus (Lunar Orbiter 2, frame M-162)".

03-Korolev Basin.jpgThe "far side" of the Moon: Korolev Basin from Lunar Orbiter 194 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Lunar Orbiter 1 view of the Korolev Basin on the far side of the Moon. The basin is located at 3° S, 158° W and is about 440 Km in diameter, the largest crater in the image, to the left and slightly above the center. Adjacent to Korolev, at about 5:00, is the crater Galois and at 6:30 is the smaller Doppler crater. The rim of the South Pole - Aitken Basin - is faintly visible running just below these craters. North is up (Lunar Orbiter 1, frame M-40)".

APOLLO 14 AS 14 66-9324.jpgAS 14-66-9324 - A basket full of gold?!?137 visiteThis frame was taken out Ed Mitchell's window between the two EVAs and shows the flag and the MET at the LM between the EVAs. Note that, in addition to parking the MET in the shadow of the S-Band antenna, as per checklist, they have put the S-Band cover on it. Good footprint and tire track definition.

The Moon from Cassini-Huygens.jpgThe Moon from Cassini-Huygens - Lunar fly-by of Aug., 18, 1999103 visiteUna serie di tre fotogrammi montati in sequenza e relativi al passaggio ravvicinato ("fly-by") della Sonda Cassini-Huygens accanto alla Luna. Era il 18 Agosto 1999. Ed eccoVi la "original caption" relativa a questo evento, dal "NASA Picture of the Day" del 10 Settembre 1999: "...the Cassini spacecraft flew by the Earth and Moon, then continued on its way to the outer solar system. Near its closest approach to the Moon, a distance of about 377.000 Km, controllers tested Cassini's imaging systems on this most familiar celestial body. This composite picture shows three resulting lunar images from the green, blue, and ultraviolet regions of the spectrum (left to right). Prominant in the upper right of each image is the dark, round Mare Crisium (Sea of Crises) at the eastern edge of the Moon's near side. With its cameras clearly functioning well, Cassini's (...) expected to arrive at its final destination, the Saturnian system, in 2004".
La storia, come sapete, ha avuto un lieto finale.
