Total posts from Moscoviense 24 Search Mare Moscoviense Constellation Site A very subtle mare-highlands boundary in Mare Moscoviense on the lunar farside, near the center of the Constellation Program region of interest. The generalized geologic contact between the mare and the highlands has been highlighted (mare to the left, highlands to the right). Astronauts exploring this region could collect key samples from the farside basalts of Mare Moscoviense as well as materials from the surrounding basin massifs. Image width is 1.8 km [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 04 Jan 2010 Where Moscoviense meets the Highlands The edge of Mare Moscoviense. Image width is 1.4 km [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 06 Oct 2009 Modified Craters of Moscoviense Morning light beams over the walls and peaks of an irregularly shaped crater in Mare Moscoviense. This unnamed crater is approximately 17 km in diameter; portion of controlled NAC Mosaic MOSCOVNSLOA, downsampled for web browsing [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 11 Mar 2014 Secondaries near Mare Moscoviense A cluster of secondary craters found in the highlands adjacent to Mare Moscoviense (28.803°S; 142.876°E). NAC frame M1104980770R, illumination is from the southeast, north is up, image is ~1.4 km wide [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 08 Oct 2013 Lunar Terminator Western portion of Mare Moscoviense seen under extreme lighting, east-to-west view snapped 25 August 2019. The illuminated rim in the background is an unnamed crater 21 kilometers in diameter (24.2°N, 146.3°E); spacecraft altitude was 94 kilometers, image M1321388053LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 15 Apr 2022 Fractured Crater Interior of Komarov crater (24.59°N, 152.25°E; 85 kilometers diameter), near the southern edge of Mare Moscoviense, on the lunar farside. Image 15 km wide across center, LROC NAC M1263901757LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 15 Nov 2018 Forked Impact Melt Flows at Farside Crater Impact melt flow split into two distinct segments. The source crater is 2.5 km to the south in a region of the farside highlands ENE of Mare Moscoviense. Image width is 1.3 km, and the pixel width is 1.25 m, NAC Image M112902715L, illumination is from the right [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 22 Jun 2010 A Colorful History of Floor-Fractured Komarov A small, fresh crater dots the wall of a fracture in the floor of Komarov crater. Image taken from LROC NAC frame M130653607. Image width is approximately 2.5 km [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 23 Jan 2014 Window to the Farside Mantle Ejecta from small craters reveal ancient buried mare to the northeast of Dewar crater, near the center of a Constellation region of interest. Image width is 570 meters [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 10 Jun 2010 Ray of boulders Dozens of boulders, ranging from 10 m to more than 30 m in diameter, are distributed within an ejecta ray close to the crater rim (lower right). These boulders represent the deepest material excavated during crater formation. LROC NAC M159013302LR, image width is ~850 m [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
