Total posts 918 Search Chandrayaan-3 Landing Site Chandrayaan-3 lander is in the center of the image, its dark shadow is visible against the bright halo surrounding the vehicle. The image is 1738 meters wide, M1447750764LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 05 Sep 2023 Mount Marilyn: A Lunar Love Story Mount Marilyn, with its distinctive triangular shape, served as an important navigation landmark for the Apollo 11 astronauts. Portion of LROC Wide Angle Camera mosaic, 138 km wide [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 31 Aug 2023 Once in a Super Blue Moon A projection of the LROC Wide Angle Camera (WAC) mosaic showing the Moon as it will appear during the August 30th, 2023 super blue Moon [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 25 Aug 2023 Mysteries Remain Frozen in our Celestial Backyard Traversability conditions and landing site assessment map for the lunar south polar region. The percentage of time that the surface will be illuminated and visible to the Earth is modeled for the expected Artemis timeframe (July 9, 2024 - June 11, 2025) at 500 m/pixel. Ideal conditions for surface activities (<10° slope and >45% sunlight (SUN) and Earth (E) line-of-sight) are indicated by light yellow. Areas indicative of potential water ice on the surface are shown in light pink. Published on 13 Jun 2023 Impact Site of the HAKUTO-R Mission 1 Lunar Lander HAKUTO-R Mission 1 Lunar Lander impact site, as seen by LROC the day after the attempted landing. LROC NAC image M1437131607R [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 23 May 2023 Looking Over the Orientale Basin Indian Ocean as seen from lunar orbit (2015-12-10 06:00:29.202 UTC). NAC high-resolution monochrome image merged with WAC lower-resolution color observations. North is to the left, Antarctica to the right, Australia at the top, and Africa at the bottom (E1204366496L, M1204365627C [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]). Published on 07 Apr 2023 Tycho: A Model Central Peak Color-shaded relief map showing elevations for the central peak of Tycho crater. Black areas indicate shadows in the stereo images, where no topography could be extracted [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 29 Mar 2023 Malapert Massif Malapert massif (informal name) is thought to be a remnant of the South Pole - Aitken basin rim, which formed more than 4 billion years ago. More recently, this magnificent peak (lower left) was selected as an Artemis 3 candidate landing region. Image is 25 kilometers wide in the center, Narrow Angle Camera M1432398306LR (NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University). Published on 13 Mar 2023 Three Impact Events Spectacular 4500-meter diameter crater (10.67°S, 225.82°E) formed at the intersection of the rims of Lowell W crater (18-kilometer diameter) and the Orientale basin (750-kilometer diameter). Impact melt and debris spilled from the low point of this not-named crater, 1800-meters downslope from the crater rim high point. East-to-west view, spacecraft altitude 76 kilometers, M1231377442LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 20 Feb 2023 Thousands of Thrust Faults! Prominent lobate thrust fault scarp in the Mandel’shtam cluster, one of the thousands discovered in Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) images. The fault scarp or cliff is like a stair-step in the lunar landscape formed when the near-surface crust is pushed together, breaks, and is thrust upward along a fault; note the two craters overridden by the fault. Image width 1430 meters, north is towards the top, NAC M103460280LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
