Total posts from Mark Robinson 174 Search First Look: Chang'e 4 Arrows indicate position of Chang'e 4 lander on the floor of Von Kármán crater. The sharp crater behind and to the left of the landing site is 3900 meters across (12,800 feet) and 600 meters (1970 feet) deep. Image was shrunk by more than a factor of ten (full resolution available inside the post). LROC NAC M1303521387LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 06 Feb 2019 Chang'e 4 Lander Coordinates Following the Chang'e 4 descent frames (CNSA/CLEP) to the surface makes it easy to find the exact landing spot in a NAC image, which was taken before the landing. Note that the NAC image is rotated so north is down to match the Chang'e 4 frames. NAC M1298916428LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 11 Jan 2019 On the Farside! Safe on the farside, Chang'e 4 set down somewhere in this LROC image obtained 17 July 2010. The lines connect craters seen in the Chang'e 4 descent image (CNSA/CLEP) with the same craters seen in the LROC image. Image width 2700 meters, NAC M134022629LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].

Published on 11 Sep 2018 Aristarchus Crater The Aristarchus crater (40 kilometer diameter, 23.73°N, 312.51°E) and plateau is one of the most geologically complex areas on the Moon. In this amazing picture, the LRO spacecraft slewed 62° (west-to-east) looking across the crater. Image: NAC M1259297876LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
