Total posts from Copernican Crater 92 Search A Rain of Rock A rain of rock carved these craters west of Vavilov crater. The ground here, which is elevated relative to the surrounding terrain, intersected with rock and other ejected debris excavated during the formation of Vavilov crater. The result was a tight cluster of irregular and V-shaped secondary craters about 2 to 2.5 km in diameter. NAC anaglyph M182123981_M182109685 [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].

Published on 16 Mar 2020 What Lies Beneath Spectacular contrasts of gray scale in the central peak of Jackson crater signal variations in both composition and maturity (degree of freshness of the surface). Image is 3100 meters wide, north is to the right, M1265842750LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 19 Jul 2019 How Spectacular is this View?!?! Oblique view of what might be the most spectacular young crater on the Moon - Giordano Bruno. The imposing cliff in the background rises 3000 m above the melt pool seen in the middle ground (top of cliff not seen here). Scene is about 3 kilometers wide, M1258193408LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 15 Jul 2019 Korolev X and Z Sharing a melt flow: visible in the right part of this oblique image is the bright wall of Korolev Z crater, the source of a 12.5-kilometer-long dark melt flow that drapes across the ancient floor of the degraded crater Korolev X. South is to the left. The image covers an area measuring about 20 kilometers from left to right and 40 kilometers from bottom to top. NAC image M1168158470LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 14 Dec 2018 Lunar Beauty The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera imaged this bright young ray crater (3.13˚N, 281.07˚E) on 3 November 2018 — just three weeks ago. The Sun shone from the west (left, 48˚ incidence angle). This image covers an area 8.1 kilometers across. NAC image M12959100LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 20 Nov 2018 The South Side of Tycho Crater Get out your red/blue anaglyph glasses for a three-dimensional treat! This extreme closeup of the south side of 86-kilometer-diameter Tycho Crater shows melt flows and pools, small craters, sagging slopes that look like ripples, boulders, and, at the top, part of the crater rim. North is at the top. Image width is about 10 kilometers [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
