Two 70mm maga­ zines are exc l uded from the index: magazine TT, which contains seven frames of low- l ight- leve l photography, and magazine UU, which was used on ly for the electrophoresis experiment. Al l 16mm photography is listed and described. Al l indexed 70mm photographs are first presented in numerical sequence according to NASA photo number. In subsequent sec­ tions orbita l photographs are listed according to longitude in 10° increments, and lunar surface photographs are listed in chrono logica l order. Where indexed by longitude the photographs within each 10 degree segment are listed in numerica l sequence, so that all photographs from each fi l m magazine are listed together. Preparation of Index In the preparation of this document each photograph taken from orbit is plotted on a 1:2, 75 0,000 Lunar Orbita l Science Flight Chart (LS F ). The principa l point of each frame is determined, and recorded to the nearest 0. 1 degree. The revo l ution on which the photograph was taken is deter­ mined from a variety of sources, but primari ly from comments recorded in the air-to-ground transcript. Estimates of camera ti lt and azimuth are based on shape of the plotted footprint and position re l ative to the groundtrack of the revo l ution on which the photograph was taken. Ti lt and azi­ muth va l ues are rounded to the nearest 5 degrees. The altitude of the spacecraft, to the nearest ki l ometer, is 2 determined from trajectory data. The reported altitude is relative to a mean lunar radius of 1738 kilometers, and is not a measure of height above local terrain. The calculated sun elevation at the principal point of each photograph is rounded to the nearest degree. Sample Numbers The sample designations reported in this index are those used by the astronauts on the lunar surface. Each sample bag or other sampling device was pre-numbered, and as each collected sample was described the sample bag number was read to Mis­ sion Control by the astronauts. By use of the air-to-ground voice transcript the photographs of samples listed herein may be related to astronaut comments at the time samples were being collected. As the samples were processed at the Lunar Receiving Laboratory they were renumbered according to a different system. Table 3 relates the numbers used on the lunar surface to those assigned by the Lunar Receiving Laboratory. Cameras One 70mm camera was stowed in the Command Module for orbital science and operational photography. Three interchangeable lenses were used: 1) an 80mm, 2) a 250mm, and 3) a 105mm ultraviolet-transmitting lens. The Command Module also was equipped with one l6mm movie camera, with lOmm, l8mm, and 75mm lenses. A 35mm camera was used for low-light-level photography. 3 Three 70mm cameras were stowed in the LM, two with 60mm lenses and one with a 500mm lens. One 16mm movie camera with lOmm lens was stowed in the crew compartment of the LM, and a second 16mm camera, also with lOmm lens, was used in lunar surface extravehicular activities. 4 ACKNOWL EDGM ENT The descriptions of all lunar surface photographs and the chronological listing of lunar surface photographs are ta ken directly from United States Geological Survey, Interagency Report: Astrogeology 50, May 19, 1972.

  • Glossary Glossary

    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.

Hays, Jr. - Worth, Illinois, USA October 26, 2015 03:32-03:58 UT, 15 cm refl, 170x, seeing 8-9/10 I sketched this crater and vicinity on the evening of Oct. 25/26, 2015 after the moon hid ZC 109. This was about 32 hours before full. Galilaei is a modest but very crisp crater in far western Oceanus Procellarum. It appears very symmetrical, but there is a faint strip of shadow protruding from its southern end. Galilaei A is the very similar but smaller crater north of Galilaei. The bright spot to the south is labeled Galilaei D on the Lunar Quadrant map. A tiny bit of shadow was glimpsed in this spot indicating a craterlet. Two more moderately bright spots are east of Galilaei. The western one of this pair showed a bit of shadow, much like Galilaei D, but the other one did not. Galilaei B is the shadow-filled crater to the west. This shadowing gave this crater a ring shape. This ring was thicker on its west side. Galilaei H is the small pit just west of B. A wide, low ridge extends to the southwest from Galilaei B, and a crisper peak is south of H. Galilaei B must be more recent than its attendant ridge since the crater's exterior shadow falls upon the ridge.

    GROUP II XENOLITHS FROM LUNAR CRATER VOLCANIC FIELD, NEVADA: IMPLICATIONS FOR SUBDUCTED PLATE METASOMATISM by JOHN CLARK MOSELY, JR. Under the Direction of MICHAEL F. RODEN ABSTRACT Lunar Crater Volcanic Field (LCVF), a Quaternary volcanic field in central Nevada, is characterized by alkali basalts that host megacrysts of clinopyroxene, amphibole and olivine as well as mafic and ultramafic xenoliths. The Group II xenoliths present at LCVF offer insight in to the complex magmatic processes at play beneath the volcanic field, as well as providing context for Tertiary and Quaternary volcanism in the western United States. Petrologic and geochemical analysis of these xenoliths and the constituent phases are consistent with genesis from a magma enriched in Ti and Al. High modal abundance of amphibole, as well as the presence of anomalously OH and Cl rich apatite within the xenoliths could be attributed to melting of a source rock enriched in water and chlorine. The geochemistry of xenoliths at LCVF is similar to that of subduction driven magmatism observed at island arcs and convergent margins but occurs well inland. Mantle enrichment by the dehydration of the shallowly subducted Farallon plate and subsequent melting of this enriched mantle allows for and is consistent with the hydrous xenoliths and the anomalous apatite hosted within them.

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.

    The Moon After Apollo

    ICARUS 25, 495-537 (1975) The Moon after Apollo PAROUK EL-BAZ National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.G- 20560 Received September 17, 1974 The Apollo missions have gradually increased our knowledge of the Moon's chemistry, age, and mode of formation of its surface features and materials. Apollo 11 and 12 landings proved that mare materials are volcanic rocks that were derived from deep-seated basaltic melts about 3.7 and 3.2 billion years ago, respec- tively. Later missions provided additional information on lunar mare basalts as well as the older, anorthositic, highland rocks. Data on the chemical make-up of returned samples were extended to larger areas of the Moon by orbiting geo- chemical experiments. These have also mapped inhomogeneities in lunar surface chemistry, including radioactive anomalies on both the near and far sides. Lunar samples and photographs indicate that the moon is a well-preserved museum of ancient impact scars. The crust of the Moon, which was formed about 4.6 billion years ago, was subjected to intensive metamorphism by large impacts. Although bombardment continues to the present day, the rate and size of impact- ing bodies were much greater in the first 0.7 billion years of the Moon's history. The last of the large, circular, multiringed basins occurred about 3.9 billion years ago. These basins, many of which show positive gravity anomalies (mascons), were flooded by volcanic basalts during a period of at least 600 million years. In addition to filling the circular basins, more so on the near side than on the far side, the basalts also covered lowlands and circum-basin troughs.
