Total posts from Scarp 48 Search Wrinkle Ridge in Mare Crisium A complex wrinkle ridge in Mare Crisium at low Sun (illumination is from the right). Boulders occupy the tops of mounds on the west ridge, and the central depression is more heavily cratered than the ridge. LROC NAC M146573730RE, image width is 700 m, north is up [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 13 Feb 2013 Really Wrinkled A wrinkle ridge in Mare Frigoris deformed the mare. NAC M185963754R, image width is ~1.75 km [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 15 Jan 2013 Offset Crater, Active Moon A small offset crater in the nearside highlands. Image is 590 m across, LROC NAC frame M177562995R [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 10 Jan 2013 Taurus Littrow Valley, West-To-East The magnificent Taurus Littrow valley seen obliquely from west-to-east by the LROC NAC. The Apollo 17 crew briefly explored portions of this valley 40 years ago this month. M1096343661LR, image ~10 km across the center [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 19 Dec 2012 The Old and the Young in Tsiolkovskiy A recent impact narrowly missed an ancient extensional crack in Tsiolkovskiy crater (18.97°S; 130.34°E). Its crater is in the lower left. NAC frame M161455429R, illumination is from the east, north is up, image is 800 m wide [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 30 Oct 2012 Impact Melt Deposits On A Crater Rim A grooved surface is covered by a sheet of impact melt that has several parallel scarps. Two blocky craters superpose the melt and might be low velocity self-secondaries. LROC NAC M1097865095RE, illumination is from the lower left and image width is 1500 m [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 02 Oct 2012 Veneer of Melt A veneer of impact melt rock erodes away just north of Newcomb crater, in the lunar highlands. LROC NAC M162026367LE, image width is 700 m [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 14 Sep 2012 Watch That First Step! LROC oblique view of the giant scarp (cliff) Rupes Cauchy that cuts across 200 km of Mare Tranquillitatis. The scarp is 300 meters tall and Cauchy B crater is 6 km in diameter [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 24 Jul 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 A Wrinkly Crater An unnamed crater deformed by tectonic forces. LROC NAC M183760209L, image width is 960 m [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 08 Jun 2012 Prev 1 2 3 4 5 Next ← Previous Next → Displaying Post 21 - 30 of 48 in total
