Published on 28 Dec 2022 Kepler Crater Landslide Mass movement of rocky debris down the inner crater wall and onto the floor of Kepler crater. Image width 3 kilometers, north is up, M114206456LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 09 Oct 2020 Double Whammy Twin craters formed by the simultaneous impact of two projectiles. NAC image M1229857067L,R [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 17 Aug 2020 Mare Crisium: Failure then Success Luna 24 landed on the northwestern rim of a 64 m diameter impact crater, on the volcanic plains of Mare Crisium. Enlargement of lander at lower left, NAC M174868307L [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 16 Mar 2012 Lunokhod 1 Revisited Lunokhod 1 rover in its final parking place (38.315°N, 324.992°E) on the surface of Mare Imbrium. The inset in the lower left shows an expanded view of the rover. LROC NAC image M175502049RE. [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 14 Mar 2012 Erosional trough on crater wall Erosional trough (400 m long x 100-200 m wide) on the eastern inner wall of the farside crater Moore F. Morphologically it resembles a martian sapping feature, suggested to form due to erosion by water flowing out of the subsurface.

Published on 24 Nov 2010 Luna 21 Lander Luna 21 lander delivered the Lunokhod 2 rover to the floor of Le Monnier crater in January 1973, LROC NAC Image M122007650LE [NASA/GSFC/ Arizona State University]. Published on 19 Mar 2010 Wrinkle ridges of northwest Mare Imbrium. A northeast-trending wrinkle ridge cuts across the plains of Mare Imbrium. The overall ridge is about 4.5 km wide. The contact between the ridge (right) and the surrounding mare basalt plains (left) runs diagonally up the image (NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University). Published on 14 Dec 2009 Debris flows I Debris flow extending down the southwest wall of Janssen K crater (a highlands crater about 16 km in diameter). Image width is 570 meters (NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University). Published on 04 Dec 2009 More Impact Melt! Frozen impact melt flows on the floor of Moore F, a farside highlands crater.
