This is very interesting - and unexpected (at least to me):
http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/posts/818 Apparently there may be small features of volcanic origin on the Moon that are less than 100 million years old. The images are also very interesting - I would probably never have guessed that the image at the top was of lunar terrain. |

Ah, glad I found this thread, as I've just come across the "Ina" feature.
In an Apollo image of the area, it could be seen that the floor of Ina has a bluish tinge. Anyone know an explanation for this? What kind of minerals are giving it bluish hue? AS17-152-23287 (auto-colour balanced from an unprocessed Flickr image)
Neal Spence combined the Apollo photo with high-rez b&w image from LRO (M175246029L).
