Total posts from Highland 62 Search Young Highlands Crater Two small melt flows solidified on the wall of a young crater, and melt pooled in its center. LROC NAC M188270580RE, image width is 700 m [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 22 Aug 2012 Simpelius Scarp A lobate scarp formed in the lunar highlands. Lunar scientists keep finding more of these tectonic features as LROC NAC image coverage of the lunar surface continues to increase. LROC NAC M106807247L, image width is 1000 m [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 12 Jul 2012 Crater in 3D! Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of an unnamed crater in the farside highlands. Image is 3.2 km across [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 02 May 2012 An Impact Melt Veneer in the Highlands Fractured impact melt partially covered with regolith. Image width is 880 m, north is up, NAC frame M159650657L [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 03 Apr 2012 Shattering Consequences Debris of variable reflectivity and size litters the floor of a small crater in the nearside lunar highlands. Illumination is from the south, image is ~410 m across; NAC image M170334512L [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 09 Feb 2012 Brush Strokes of Ejecta Ejecta with a subtle chevron texture drapes the northern lunar highlands. The ejecta is pockmarked by few small craters, suggesting it is from a recent impact. LROC NAC M170937919R, image width is 500 m [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 20 Oct 2011 Tectonics in Mare Frigoris A mare wrinkle ridge transitions to a highland lobate scarp in Mare Frigoris. Illumination is from the lower-left in this 2.9 km wide mosaic of LROC NAC images M107069913L and M107069913R [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 12 Oct 2011 A Scar in the Highlands A curvilinear valley calls attention to itself by virtue of its apparent isolation from the surrounding terrain. LROC NAC M153632648L, north is up, sun is from the southwest, incidence angle 33°, image width is ~460 m [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 04 Oct 2011 Farside impact! A young, fresh impact into the farside highlands, south of Tsiolkovskiy crater. LROC NAC M159073200L, image width ~785 m [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 29 Sep 2011 Follow the highlands-mare boundary in Tsiolkovskiy! Northeastern portion of Tsiolkovskiy crater, highlighting the boundary between mare and the highlands.
