We have chosen Fourier analysis in Ejected debris that covers the moon's surface obscures lunar closed form (Ehrlich and Weinberg, 1970), a technique that does bedrock and makes detailed determination of underlying geologic not merely estimate shape, but rather describes shape to whatever structures over broad regions of the satellite difficult.

This paper reports the results of regarding geologic structural trends come principally from analysis applying this technique to shape analysis of large craters ( > 15 km of surface lineations such as volcanic alignments, graben, and ridges in diameter) from across the lunar nearside.

  • 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.

  • Species Report for Leona's Little Blue Butterfly (Philotiella Leona)
    Species Report for Leona’s Little Blue Butterfly (Philotiella leona) Photo credit: Sarina Jepsen; The Xerces Society U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service May 20, 2015 Species Report for Leona’s Little Blue Butterfly (Philotiella leona) Purpose The purpose of this species report is to provide the best available scientific and commercial information about Leona’s little blue (Philotiella leona) and its habitat. The information within this report will be part of our biological basis for any potential listing, recovery, or consultation recommendations under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 as amended (Act), (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Executive Summary On May 12, 2010, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife (Service) received a petition from the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, Dr. David McCorkle of Western Oregon University, and Oregon Wild to list the Leona’s little blue butterfly under the Act. On August 17, 2011, the Service published in the Federal Register a positive 90-day finding stating that the petition presented substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that listing the Leona’s little blue butterfly may be warranted (76 FR 50971). As a result, we are initiating a status review of the species to determine if Leona’s little blue butterfly is warranted for listing under the Act. The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation and Oregon Wild filed a notice of intent to sue on March 7, 2013, for failure to issue a 12-month finding on whether listing the Leona’s little blue butterfly is warranted under the Act. On July 31, 2014, the court ordered the Service to issue a 12-month finding for the Leona’s little blue butterfly by June 30, 2015.

Such polygonal impact craters (PICs) are controlled by pre-existing target structures, mainly faults or other similar planes of weakness. In the Argyre region, Mars, PICs comprise ∼17% of the total impact crater population (>7 km in diameter), and PICs are relatively more common in older geologic units. Their formation is mainly controlled by radial fractures induced by the Argyre and Ladon impact basins, and to a lesser extent by the basin-concentric fractures. Also basin-induced conjugate shear fractures may play a role. Unlike the PICs, ridges and graben in the Argyre region are mostly controlled by Tharsis-induced tectonism, with the ridges being concentric and graben radial to Tharsis. Therefore, the PICs primarily reflect an old impact basin-centered tectonic pattern, whereas Tharsis-centered tectonism responsible for the graben and the ridges has only minor influence on the PIC rim orientations.
