I warned Bob not to take that speed reading course.

Here is an improved version of Hiten's descent to the moon, with a white dot marking the projected spot of impact.

Here is the "cleaned" version of the only other shot I have.

I'm going nuts trying to figure out where that image is. An early guess (center of far side) based on a previous version Ted had on his website doesn't work now I can see it better.

Phil The prominent crater left center looks like Theophilus in relation to other features, allowing for the reduced gray levels. Don |

Don, I was all set to tell you you were mistaken when I discovered you were absolutely right! The big mosaic Ted posted extends from Fra Mauro to Piccolomini, with Theophilus on its northern (upper right) side. And this single image. as you say, is Theophilus, with Fracastorius at lower right. Thanks!

These images cover a quite wide area. The closest in the approach sequence was taken from 3,000 km away, after which the ONS field of view had crossed the terminator.

NASA Science News for June 13, 2006
Last month, astronomers watched a meteoroid blast a hole in the lunar Sea of Clouds. Their video of the event is a must-see. FULL STORY at http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/13....htm?list161084 -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |
