Published on 20 Apr 2022 Lunar Terminator Western portion of Mare Moscoviense seen under extreme lighting, east-to-west view snapped 25 August 2019. The illuminated rim in the background is an unnamed crater 21 kilometers in diameter (24.2°N, 146.3°E); spacecraft altitude was 94 kilometers, image M1321388053LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 15 Apr 2022 Traversing the Shackleton de Gerlache Ridge Amazing oblique view of the rim of Shackleton crater (on the left) and the Shackleton - de Gerlache ridge that runs from middle left to upper right. The south pole is near the small, sharp, bright crater on the rim of Shackleton (left side of the image about 25% up from the bottom). This spectacular area is under consideration for the Artemis III crewed landing scheduled for later in this decade. Ridgeline is about 14 kilometers long, NAC M1348682369LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 01 Apr 2022 Schrödinger Vent - A Region Rich with Lunar Treats A digital terrain model (DTM) mosaic of the Schrödinger pyroclastic vent (centered at -75.27°N, 139.29°E - here in Quickmap ) located on the floor of Schrödinger basin where the elevation is relative to the average radius of the Moon. This DTM mosaic was made from 8 NAC images. The holes in the DTM are caused by shadows in the NAC images from which the terrain was extracted (NASA/GSFC/DLR/Arizona State University). Published on 04 Mar 2022 NAC Anaglyph: Alphonsus Vent A dike (subsurface magma body) was likely intruded under the floor of Alphonsus crater creating an array of fractures seen here. Image is 5700 meters wide, north is towards the top [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 19 Feb 2022 Topography of the Taurus-Littrow Valley Color-shaded relief map of the Taurus-Littrow Valley (APOLLO17 DTM mosaic) made from eleven NAC stereo pairs [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 11 Feb 2022 A “Secondary” View of Copernicus NAC DTM showing a chain of Copernicus secondaries (15.5°N, 343.4°E). North is pointing right [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 04 Feb 2022 First to See the Farside First photograph (BW) taken of the famous Apollo 8 Earthrise sequence, the following images were acquired with color film [AS08-13-2329, NASA]. Published on 24 Dec 2021 Saturn 2021 Saturn and Jupiter have been a comforting presence in the evening sky for the past several months. On October 13, 2021, LRO slewed to allow LROC to acquire this magnificent view revealing Saturn and its rings. NAC M1388758232L [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 22 Nov 2021 Gruithuisen Domes: A Lunar Mystery NASA is planning to send a lander and rover to the beautiful Gruithuisen Domes, seen in this controlled mosaic, and LROC images will help guide the way. The domes are located at 36.3° N, 319.8° E. Image 55 km wide, north is up [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
