LRO and LROC will continue to explore the Moon during the mission's third extended mission to understand fundamental processes that shape our Solar System. Published on 22 Aug 2016 Age of the Compton-Belkovich Volcanic Complex A small portion of the Compton-Belkovich Volcanic Complex (61.20°; N, 100.27°; E) as you would see it from the window of your personal lunar module flying at an altitude of 52 km above the surface, looking to the west-southwest. The upper two thirds of the scene shows the volcanic complex, whereas the lower third of the image is outside of the complex. The terrain outside of the complex exhibits a greater abundance of impact craters than inside the complex. Image M174549036LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 29 Jun 2016 A Landing Site for Russia's Luna-Glob A portion of a new geologic map of the interior of Boguslawsky crater, proposed site of the next Russian mission to the lunar surface [Ivanov et al., 2015]. Published on 22 Jun 2016 Mapping Tycho Crater A new geomorphological map of the interior of Tycho crater, produced using LROC NAC and SELENE Terrain Camera images. Read on for legend and unit descriptions [Krüger et al., 2016]. Published on 15 Jun 2016 Crater Concentric Ridges The dune-like features seen here are called concentric ridges, and these beautiful examples are found within the northeastern ejecta of the 5-km crater Piton B. Scene centered at 39.36° N, 359.97° E, LROC NAC Image M181174044LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 02 Jun 2016 What a Blast! – Revisiting the Chang'e 3 Landing Site View of the Chang'e-3 landing site from the LROC NAC. The region around the lander was brightened from the interaction of rocket exhaust with the regolith. Scene is approximately 240 m across, located at 44.121°N, 340.488°E. NAC image M1147290066R. [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University] Published on 13 May 2016 Jackson Emerges The western rim of Jackson crater floats out of the shadows in this oblique view of the prominent farside crater. LROC NAC image M1216470662LR, centered near 23.1°N, 196.1°E. [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University] Published on 11 May 2016 Swirls Across the Moon The swirls of Reiner Gamma, shown in enhanced color (415 nm, 321/415 nm, 321/360 nm in red, green, and blue, respectively) from the LROC Wide Angle Camera, overlaid on a monochrome mosaic. Scence is 108 km across and centered at 6.6° N, 300.6° E in Oceanus Procellarum. [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 03 May 2016 The Chang'e 3 Landing Site in 3D Slope map overlain on an LROC NAC image of the Chang'e 3 landing site at 44.12°N, 340.49°E in Mare Imbrium. The Chinese spacecraft landed just to the east of the large crater near the center. Slopes range from zero (blue) to above 15° (orange-red); derived from LROC NAC stereo images M1144922100 and M1144950543. The full scene is 3.3 km across [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 07 Oct 2014 Five Years Later: Revisiting an Old Friend A portion of LROC's first image (M101013931), acquired five years ago today. This region of the rim of Shackleton crater near the lunar South Pole is illuminated over 70% of the time, while the floor of the crater is permanently shaded from sunlight [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
