Duke, Director of the Solar System Exploration Division of the NASA Johnson Space Center. At a meeting of the Lunar and Planetary Sample Team (LAPST), Dr. Duke (at the time also Science Director of the Office of Exploration, NASA Headquarters) suggested that future lunar geoscience activities had not been planned systematically and that geoscience goals for the lunar base program were not articulated well. LAPST is a panel that advises NASA on lunar sample allocations and also serves as an advocate for lunar science within the planetary science community. LAPST took it upon itself to organize some formal geoscience planning for a lunar base by creating a document that outlines the types of missions and activities that are needed to understand the Moon and its geologic history.

  • Glossary Glossary
    Glossary Glossary Albedo A measure of an object’s reflectivity. A pure white reflecting surface has an albedo of 1.0 (100%). A pitch-black, nonreflecting surface has an albedo of 0.0. The Moon is a fairly dark object with a combined albedo of 0.07 (reflecting 7% of the sunlight that falls upon it). The albedo range of the lunar maria is between 0.05 and 0.08. The brighter highlands have an albedo range from 0.09 to 0.15. Anorthosite Rocks rich in the mineral feldspar, making up much of the Moon’s bright highland regions. Aperture The diameter of a telescope’s objective lens or primary mirror. Apogee The point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth. At apogee, the Moon can reach a maximum distance of 406,700 km from the Earth. Apollo The manned lunar program of the United States. Between July 1969 and December 1972, six Apollo missions landed on the Moon, allowing a total of 12 astronauts to explore its surface. Asteroid A minor planet. A large solid body of rock in orbit around the Sun. Banded crater A crater that displays dusky linear tracts on its inner walls and/or floor. 250 Basalt A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, low in silicon, with a low viscosity. Basaltic material fills many of the Moon’s major basins, especially on the near side. Glossary Basin A very large circular impact structure (usually comprising multiple concentric rings) that usually displays some degree of flooding with lava. The largest and most conspicuous lava- flooded basins on the Moon are found on the near side, and most are filled to their outer edges with mare basalts.

EDITED BY: Wayne Bailey [email protected] 17 Autumn Lane, Sewell, NJ 08080 RECENT BACK ISSUES: http://moon.scopesandscapes.com/tlo_back.html FEATURE OF THE MONTH – AUGUST 2017 POSIDONIUS P & LUTHER Sketch and text by Robert H. Hays, Jr. - Worth, Illinois, USA March 5, 2017 01:28-01:48; UT, 15 cm refl, 170x, seeing 7-8/10. I drew these craters on the evening of March 4/5, 2017 while the moon was hiding some Hyades stars. This area is in northeast Mare Serenitatis west of Posidonius itself. Posidonius P is the largest crater on this sketch. The smaller crater south of P is Posidonius F and Posidonius G is the tiny pit to the north. There is a halo around Posidonius G, but this crater is noticeably north of the halo's center. A very low round swelling is northeast of Posidonius G. Luther is the crater well to the west of Posidonius P. All four of these craters are crisp, symmetric features, differing only in size. There are an assortment of elevations near Luther. The peak Luther alpha is well to the west of Luther, and showed dark shadowing at this time. All of the other features near Luther are more subtle than Luther alpha. One mound is between Luther and Luther alpha. Two more mounds are north of Luther, and a low ridge is just east of this crater. A pair of very low mounds are south of Luther. These are the vaguest features depicted here, and may be too conspicuous on the sketch.

Kumaresan1 and J.

Moon surfaces are composed of dark and light areas. The dark areas are called Maria which is made up of basaltic terrain and light areas are high- lands mostly made up of Anorthositic rocks. The moon surface is littered with craters, which are formed when meteors hit its surface. To understand the evolution, geological process of the moon it is important to study the surface composition and minerals present in crustal surface. In this regard, in our study, we have attempted to map the minerals and surface composition of Archi- medes crater region. Study area: Archimedes crater is a large impact crater located on the eastern edges of the Mare Imbri- um of near side moon (29.7° N, 4.0° W). The diameter of the crater is 83 km with smooth floor flooded (1) with mare basalt and lack of a central peak. The rim (2) has a significant outer rampart brightened with ejecta (3) and the some portion of a terraced inner wall. Ar- chimedes Crater is named for the Greek mathematician Archimedes, who made many mathematical discoveries in the 200 B.C [1, 2].

  • Tectonic Evolution of Northwestern Imbrium of the Moon That Lasted In
    Daket et al. Earth, Planets and Space (2016) 68:157 DOI 10.1186/s40623-016-0531-0 FULL PAPER Open Access Tectonic evolution of northwestern Imbrium of the Moon that lasted in the Copernican Period Yuko Daket1* , Atsushi Yamaji1, Katsushi Sato1, Junichi Haruyama2, Tomokatsu Morota3, Makiko Ohtake2 and Tsuneo Matsunaga4 Abstract The formation ages of tectonic structures and their spatial distributions were studied in the northwestern Imbrium and Sinus Iridum regions using images obtained by Terrain Camera and Multiband Imager on board the SELENE spacecraft and the images obtained by Narrow Angle Camera on board LRO. The formation ages of mare ridges are constrained by the depositional ages of mare basalts, which are either deformed or dammed by the ridges. For this purpose, we defined stratigraphic units and determined their depositional ages by crater counting. The degradation levels of craters dislocated by tectonic structures were also used to determine the youngest limits of the ages of the tectonic activities. As a result, it was found that the contractions to form mare ridges lasted long after the deposition of the majority of the mare basalts. There are mare ridges that were tectonically active even in the Copernican Period. Those young structures are inconsistent with the mascon tectonics hypothesis, which attributes tectonic deforma- tions to the subsidence of voluminous basaltic fills. The global cooling or the cooling of the Procellarum KREEP Ter- rane region seems to be responsible for them. In addition, we found a graben that was active after the Eratosthenian Period. It suggests that the global or regional cooling has a stress level low enough to allow the local extensional tectonics.

Introduction: Lunar Pyroclastic Deposits (LPDs) color composites of the spectral parameter maps and the are the surface materials left on the Moon that have been 1µm band center and 2µm band depth (Figure 2). produced by explosive eruptions. Spectral analyses of Study Area: Montes Apenninus is a northeast- the composition and distribution of these volcanic southwest trending chain of mountains that are part of deposits can reveal information about lunar formation the rim of the Imbrium basin. West of Montes and evolution because they are relatively pristine Apenninus is the Apennine Bench Formation, a light samples thought to be sourced from deep within the plains unit determined to be older than the surrounding Moon. Their distribution in time and space captures Mare Imbrium [3]. Ten LPDs have previously been information about changes in the composition, identified within this study area, including examples temperature, and structure of the lunar mantle and classified by size as regional (>1000 km2) and localized perched magma sources.

The Moon is nearly everyone’s first sight with a telescope, and there’s no better time to start watching it than early in the lunar cycle, which begins every month when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth. Langrenus Each evening thereafter, as the Moon makes its orbit around Earth, the part of it that’s lit by the Sun grows larger. If you look closely at the crescent Mare Fecunditatis zona I Moon, you can see the unlit part of it glows with a r a ghostly, soft radiance. This is “the old Moon in the L/U. p New Moon’s arms,” and the light comes from sun- /L tlas Messier Messier A a light reflecting off the land, clouds, and oceans of unar Earth.
