Scene is 55 km across, NAC images M1309496597L/R, M1309503618L/R, M1309510644L/R, M1309517669L/R, and M1309524696L/R [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 16 Mar 2020 Order from Chaos — Blagg Crater Blagg crater, named for the British astronomer who helped bring order to lunar naming chaos, is full of surprises. Taken during morning with the Sun shining from the right (east), the image above shows an area of the Moon just 9.5 kilometers wide. LROC NAC image pair M192946338LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 16 Apr 2019 Lobate Scarps: The Movie Lobate scarps - like those shown here on the floor of the farside crater d'Alembert - are not large, but they tell us much about how hot the Moon was when it was born and its ongoing thermal evolution. Image width is about four kilometers. [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University] Published on 31 Oct 2018 'Shaping' Lunar Science with Vector Data Twenty new shapefiles created by the LROC Team are now available! A few of the shapefiles shown here include mare age units, footprints of digital terrain models (DTMs), and the locations of small geologic features such as irregular mare patches (IMPs) and lobate scarps [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 18 Jul 2017 NAC Anaglyph: Dorsa Whiston A distinctive wrinkle ridge in Oceanus Procellarum named Dorsa Whiston. Ridges like this one result from substantial compression within portions of the lunar maria [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 12 May 2017 NAC Anaglyph: Dorsum Cloos Dorsum Cloos -- a wrinkle ridge signifying that substantial forces within the rocks have led to folding and faulting in eastern Mare Smythii [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 10 Mar 2017 NAC Anaglyph: Mare Frigoris Wrinkle Ridges Wrinkle Ridges in Mare Frigoris - Wrinkle ridges are a response to a local mass concentration, while others, as in this case, may be due to global contractional stress [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 03 Mar 2017 NAC Anaglyph: Vitello Ridge A wrinkle ridge south of Vitello crater, formed by compressional stress that caused the rock to fold and fracture [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 09 Sep 2016 LROC NAC Anaglyph: Wrinkle Ridge near Fontenelle X A wrinkle in rock, formed well after the lava solidified in northern Mare Frigoris [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 24 Jul 2015 Littered Wrinkles LROC NAC image M1144863959L of portion of a wrinkle ridge found in Mare Nubium. The crest and side of the ridge is lined with high reflectance boulders, likely eroded from the fractured basalts that make up the ridge. Image width is ~3 km, North is up [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 14 Aug 2014 Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 Next ← Previous Next → Displaying Post 1 - 10 of 60 in total
