One of many newly-discovered young volcanic deposits on the Moon (4.330°N, 33.750°E), this example is near the crater Maskelyne. The direction of sunlight is from the right and north is up, NAC M1123370138R [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 12 Oct 2014 The Original Interplanetary Mountaineers Traverse plots of the first two Apollo 15 EVAs, on which astronauts Scott and Irwin ventured to the lower slopes of Mons Hadley Delta (center left); numbers indicate elevations above the landing site (LM) (oblique LROC NAC M1123519889; north is to the right). For scale, the dogleg distance the astronauts travelled from the LM to Elbow crater along the edge of Hadley Rille (EVA 1) is ~4.5 km [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 20 Jun 2014 Soaring Over Mighty Mt. Hadley An oblique view, looking east-to-west over the Apennine Mountains towards Hadley Rille (upper left) (LROC NAC M1123519889, north is to the right). A long shadow is cast by mighty Mt. Hadley (center right). Nestled between the Apennines and Hadley Rille lies Hadley Base, the landing site of Apollo 15. For scale, the v-shaped trough of Hadley Rille is roughly 1 km wide [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 18 Jun 2014 The Complex Case at Lassell K An early morning view looking east-to-west from an altitude of 86 km across the southern portion of the Lassell Massif, an irregularly shaped series of hills and steep-walled depressions. North is to the right; oblique LROC NAC mosaic M1108311369, reduced for web-browsing [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 15 May 2014 A Splendid View of Larmor Q LROC NAC view of the south wall and rim of splendiferous Larmor Q crater, looking obliquely east-to-west from an altitude of 60 km; image M174081337 [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 12 May 2014 Still There! Four LROC NAC views of the Chang'e 3 landing site: A) before landing, 30 June 2013, B) after landing, 25 December 2013, C) 21 January 2014, D) 17 February 2014. Each image is enlarged by a factor of two, width of each is 200 meters (656 feet). Follow Yutu's path clockwise around the lander in panel D [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 04 Mar 2014 Overprinting Orientale Fractured crater draped with ejecta from the Orientale basin, located south of Buffon crater. Portion of NAC oblique image M1128039712; looking west to east; downslope to the right [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 13 Feb 2014 Tsiolkovskiy Central Peak Oblique An LROC NAC oblique image (M1098059280LR) of the central peak of Tsiolkovskiy Crater. The image is approximately 25 km in diameter, and the central peak rises ~3400 m above the crater floor. North points left [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 19 Nov 2013 The Lunar Alps A portion of an LROC NAC oblique image (M177602135LR) of a rille, seen in the center of this image running northwest to southeast through the Montes Alpes region. Image width is approximately 15 km. North is to the right [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 15 Nov 2013 On the Edge An oblique view from LROC's NAC of Lichtenberg crater (31.854°N, 292.284°E). This image is approximately 22 km wide. North is to the bottom right of the image [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 24 Sep 2013 Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Next ← Previous Next → Displaying Post 31 - 40 of 71 in total
