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 Station 6 - Apollo 17 Station 6 allowed Apollo 17 astronauts to explore a collection of boulders and regolith that represents the rocks from the mighty North Massif. Five large boulder fragments lie at the base of a long boulder trail, all from a single boulder that rolled down the hill and broke apart. NAC image M134991788R [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 13 Dec 2013 Dark Ejecta A 78 m diameter crater with distinct dark ejecta surrounding the crater rim. The crater formed in the highlands (31.131°S, 147.536°E) north of the crater Jules Verne, LRO NAC frame M1115555142L [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 31 Oct 2013 Impact! The twin GRAIL spacecraft impacted the Moon on 17 December 2012, LROC was able to image the impact craters on 28 February 2013 showing them both to be about 5 meters in diameter. Upper panels show the area before the impact; lower panels after the impact. Arrows point to crater locations [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 18 Mar 2013 Archimedes Rock Garden A group of rocks, a small shallow crater, and rays of ejecta occur together on one of the fault terraces of the crater Archimedes. LRO NAC M109256375R [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 07 Feb 2013 Debris Flows in Kepler Crater This image shows the lower part of the northeast inner wall of the Kepler impact crater. Loose material is sliding down the inner crater from near the rim crest (upper right) and ponding on a part of the crater floor. LROC NAC M104755664L [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 06 Feb 2013 Meanders in Posidonius Small portion of a S-shaped meandering rille on the floor of Posidonius Crater (31.93°N, 29.85°E, 100 km diameter) - a floor-fractured crater. The curves in the rille are very tight. LROC NAC M1098658474R [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 05 Feb 2013 Tres Amicis Three impact craters (125-180 m diameter) that may have formed in a contemporaneous impact event. NAC image M106827539L [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
