Total posts from apollo 227 Search Small crater at the southern rim of Menelaus LROC Wide Angle Camera mosaic of Menelaus crater at the boundary between Mare Serenitatis and the highlands (dotted line). Broad ejecta rays extend along the mare-highlands boundary and also in the NE-SW direction. In this image, the ejecta ray extending to the SW is easier to distinguish than the ray extending into Mare Serenitatis. The arrow marks the location of a recent 350 m diameter impact near the rim of Menelaus crater [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 27 Oct 2010 Natural Bridge on the Moon! Another amazing bit of lunar geology revealed by LROC! NAC M113168034R, north is up [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 07 Sep 2010 Volcanoes in Lacus Mortis Most of the craters on the Moon formed through impact processes. However, some craters, like the one visible in this portion of LROC NAC frame M131488521R, may be a volcano summit pit crater. Crater diameter is ~400 m, the image width is 923 m, and illumination is from the right [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 10 Aug 2010 A molten flood A flood of impact melt swept away from the rim of Necho crater. NAC image M119041553; scene width is 540 m [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 29 Jul 2010 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 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 Splendors of Mare Smythii Interior of fresh impact crater in the Smythii Constellation region of interest. Portion of image M126371530LE, scene width is 530 m [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 20 May 2010 Hole in One! A house-sized boulder (10 m diameter) rolled down-hill, scoring a hole in one (~60 m diameter crater)! Portion of LROC NAC M122597190L, image width is 500 m across [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 19 May 2010 Central Peak of Copernicus crater LROC NAC close-up of light-toned bedrock exposed within the central structural uplift of Copernicus crater (~93-km diameter). NAC image M102293451, width is ~1.26 km and the outcrop is ~800 m wide [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 04 May 2010 Floor of Tsiolkovskiy - Constellation Region of Interest LROC NAC view of boulders on an outlying rampart of the complex central peak of Tsiolkovskiy crater within the Constellation region of interest. The image is roughly 700 m wide (LROC NAC frame M113107391L) [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
