Total posts from Juergen Oberst 3 Search Hunting for Ancient Lunar Impact Basins Fig. 1: A lesser-known impact basin, Freundlich-Sharonov, is visible in this Digital Terrain Model (DTM) made from LROC WAC stereo images, and darker shades represent lower elevations than brighter shades. The diameter of the orange-colored ring is 595 km. DTM images like these allow scientists to inventory and study the morphologies of lunar basins [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University/DLR].

On April 14th 1970, the Apollo 13 Saturn IVB upper stage impacted the Moon North of Mare Cognitum, at -2.55° latitude, -27.88° East longitude. The impact crater, which is roughly 30 meters in diameter, is clearly visible in LROC NAC image M109420042LE [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 22 Mar 2010 A Digital Terrain Model of the Orientale Basin A Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of the large Orientale Basin (1100 km diameter), located on the western hemisphere of the Moon, produced from stereo LROC WAC images. The image shows the hill-shaded, color-coded DTM with heights varying from approximately -4,700 to 9,400 meters. Small white boxes represent areas without WAC coverage [NASA/GSFC/ASU/DLR].
