Total posts from Raquel Nuno 23 Search 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 Fresh, But Not So Clean LROC NAC image M131515002R showing two similarly sized craters, ~500 m in diameter, but one is littered with boulders and the other is not. This boulder discrepency is most likely due to age differences between the two craters. Image width is ~2 km, and North points up [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 12 Aug 2014 Donut Holes LROC NAC image M180430508R showing central mounds, ~1 km diameter each, on the floor of Harriot B crater. Image width is ~3 km and North points up [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 10 Jul 2014 A Rille to Rover Over LROC NAC image M1145219838 of a rille found on the Southwestern edge of Oceanus Procellarum. This rille most likely formed from the stress added to the crust as the mare deposits were emplaced and cooled [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 08 Jul 2014 Rough Around the Edges With peppered flanks, Rima Suess wanders over 150 km through Oceanus Procellarum. The rocks that rest on the walls of this lunar rille are perhaps remnants of much larger boulders that have eroded down to meter sized rocks due to micro and macro meterorite bombardmet. LROC NAC image M168516400R has a width of ~400 m, and North points up [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 05 Jun 2014 Tender Tendrils Beautiful granular flows on the wall of Hipparchus G crater brought fresh debris from the rim down the walls, downslope is to the left. Image width is ~1 km, and North is up; LROC NAC image M183474839L [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 03 Jun 2014 Elongated Crater Full resolution LROC NAC M155084711R showing the northeastern wall and floor of Arago E crater. The floor is peppered with rocks that tumbled down the crater wall. In this image North is up, image width is ~0.5 miles (800 m) [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 01 May 2014 Jagged Rim LROC NAC M1152277932L showing the upper southeastern portion of the rim of Piazzi H crater which has a diameter of 5 miles (8 km). The width of this image is ~0.5 miles (800 m) and North is up [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 29 Apr 2014 Small Clearing LROC NAC M1144856403R of a mound littered with boulders located within the floor of Tycho crater. The small clearing, which lacks boulders, is most likely squeezed up impact melt. Image width is ~2400 ft (730 m) and North points up [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 03 Apr 2014 Lavoisier Pyroclastics Irregular depression at the head of a floor fracture skirting the western floor of Lavoisier crater. Low reflectance material, thought to be pyroclastics, appears to have flowed East into nearby parts of the crater floor. LROC NAC mosaic M105055584LR, image width is ~15 km (9 miles), North is up [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
