Published on 19 Oct 2020 Apennine Bench Formation: A Window into Ancient Volcanism LROC Wide Angle Camera (WAC) 100 m/px mosaic with 6 colorized Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) of the Apennine Bench Formation (centered near 26° N, 356° E - here in Quickmap), an enigmatic light plains unit located on the central lunar nearside, west of the Apennine Mountains and the Apollo 15 landing site at Hadley Rille [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 29 Jun 2020 A Rain of Rock A rain of rock carved these craters west of Vavilov crater. The ground here, which is elevated relative to the surrounding terrain, intersected with rock and other ejected debris excavated during the formation of Vavilov crater. The result was a tight cluster of irregular and V-shaped secondary craters about 2 to 2.5 km in diameter. NAC anaglyph M182123981_M182109685 [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].

Published on 22 Oct 2019 "Oceanus Procellarum Base Here - The Eagle Has Landed" In 1969, NASA published a map showing candidate Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 landing sites. The map was based on photographs taken using large Earth-based telescopes. The map above, based on an LROC global image mosaic, is a near-copy of that historic map. Red dots represent the five candidate Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 landing sites as of February 1968. Yellow circles represent the final three Apollo 11 target sites. The green circle marks Site 2, the Apollo 11 prime site in Mare Tranquillitatis, where the Lunar Module Eagle actually landed [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
