I know it may be too early for such a thread, but an announcement has to be made.
The official website of the LROC camera is: http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/ A brief description plus status is available here: http://www.msss.com/lro/lroc/index.html |

A little curiosity from someone who doesn't have the tools to be able to plot LRO's orbit, etc...
All of the images I've seen seem to be taken under mid- to late-afternoon sun angles. All of the images I've seen at low sun angles from other probes (especially LO) were, if memory serves, taken under early- to late-morning sun angles. Is this being done purposely by LRO to vary the lighting angle from other resources? (If so, it makes it that much harder to do photo comparison for detection of new craters.) Also, why the heck have we yet to see the Apollo 12 landing site, when we've seen multiple takes on a couple of the other Apollo sites? Is it possible that A12 visited a *different* Surveyor than the one advertised...? -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
