Another possible impact crater... this might be SMART-1. If so, it just skimmed the crest of the mountain in the top image (approaching from the north) and hit the surface slightly to the south of it. I don't know how plausible that is, but I don't see another candidate site yet.

The new release is out... and to celebrate it, here's Surveyor 7 casting a nice shadow.

... and the nearby 'playa' which was the actual landing target. Nice gullies!
(the image number is in the filename if you save these images)

This is Surveyor 7 from the raw image instead of the zoomify screen.

This is an extreme enlargement of the area around Surveyor 7 in that image, fitted to craters in the detailed site plan in my Atlas, and with Surveyor 7 placed in its correct location and orientation. The spacecraft drawing doesn't show the solar panel/antenna assembly to avoid hiding objects beneath it.

Wow! Slightly OT, but is that a 'pond' of impact melt? And what are those 'knobs' near Surveyor?

Yes, it's one of many ponds of impact melt around Tycho. The pattern of cracks is quite typical. I'm not sure which knobs you're referring to, but probably what you are describing are just rocks. This was quite a rocky site, as you can see if you look at the Surveyor 7 panorama (Google will lead you to it).

Here's a nice recently released LROC image of the tracks of Lunokhod 2, where it crossed a faint depression that they called "unnoticed rille". The image number is in the file name.

Supposedly the LRO has imaged the Lunar 23 & 24 landing sites:

Rather sadly the images are not included in the linked article.

Actually she do have images on her page also, click at below right of the image at 'next'. The one linked by Deception is uncropped so even better though. smile.gif

Luna 23 was an LPOD a few days ago. I have to say i'm not sure I can accept the new interpretation that the big white lump is the return capsule and the vehicle fell over. It transmitted to Earth for several days. The older interpretation from the first LROC images of it was that the lump was a rock which damaged the lander (i.e. it struck a glancing blow during landing). Seems more likely to me, but I suppose shadow analysis might help reveal the difference.
