  • 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.
  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature

    Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature

    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971. Because at the recent General Assemblies some small changes, or corrections, were made, the complete list of Lunar and Martian Topographic Features is published here.

    Lunar Topographical Studies Section Banded Craters Program

    Lunar Topographical Studies Section Banded Craters Program These highly stylized drawings are intended only to give a general impression of each Group In the March 1955 Journal of the British Astronomical Association, K. W. Abineri and A. P. Lenham published a paper in which they suggested that banded craters could be grouped into the following five categories: Group 1 - (Aristarchus type) Craters are very bright, quite small, and have fairly small dark floors leaving broad bright walls. The bands, on the whole, apparently radiate from near the centre of the craters. These craters are often the centres of simple bright ray systems. Group 2 - (Conon type) Rather dull craters with large dark floors and narrow walls. Very short bands show on the walls but cannot be traced on the floors. The bands, despite their shortness, appear radial to the crater centre. Group 3 - (Messier type) A broad east-west band is the main feature of the floors. Group 4 - (Birt type) Long, usually curved, bands radiate from a non-central dull area. The brightness and size are similar to the Group 1 craters. Group 5 - (Agatharchides A type) One half of the floor is dull and the bands radiate from near the wall inside this dull section and are visible on the dull and bright parts of the floor. 1 BANDED CRATERS BY NAMED FEATURE NAMED FEATURE LUNAR LONG.

Space Sci. 35(1), 47-54 (2018) https://doi.org/10.5140/JASS.2018.35.1.47 Solar Insolation Effect on the Local Distribution of Lunar Hydroxyl Suyeon Kim1, Yu Yi1†, Ik-Seon Hong1,2, Jongdae Sohn2 1Department of Astronomy, Space Science and Geology, Chungnam National University, Daejeon 34134, Korea 2Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, Daejeon 34055, Korea Moon mineralogy mapper (M3)'s work proved that the moon is not completely dry but has some hydroxyl/water. M3’s data confirmed that the amount of hydroxyl on the lunar surface is inversely related to the measured signal brightness, suggesting the lunar surface is sensitive to temperature by solar insolation. We tested the effect of solar insolation on the local distribution of hydroxyl by using M3 data, and we found that most craters had more hydroxyl in shade areas than in sunlit areas. This means that the local distribution of hydroxyl is absolutely influenced by the amount of sunshine. We investigated the factors affecting differences in hydroxyl; we found that the higher the latitude, the larger the difference during daytime. We also measured the pyroxene content and found that pyroxene affects the amount of hydroxyl, but it does not affect the difference in hydroxyl between sunlit and shaded areas. Therefore, we confirmed that solar insolation plays a significant role in the local distribution of hydroxyl, regardless of surface composition.

Powell and Caroline Thibeaud NCUACS catalogue no. 104/3/02 S.K. Runcorn 215 NCUACS 104/3/02 SECTION H VISITS AND CONFERENCES H.1-H.897 From the 1950s to his death, Runcorn made a very great number of visits abroad, mainly to the USA but also to the continent of Europe and a few to Australia, Asia etc. It is sometimes difficult to keep an exact track of his whereabouts given his peripatetic lifestyle and it is not always clear whether planned visits did indeed always take place. Although his visits to the United States generally were in connection with specific conferences or meetings - he was a regular attender at Lunar and Planetary Science conferences in Houston, Texas and American Geophysical Union meetings, for example - he very often also took the opportunity to visit colleagues and deliver lectures at other research centres and there may be voluminous correspondence relating to such more informal visits. There is also material relating to meetings within the UK. There is good documentation of Runcorn's attendance at Royal Astronomical Socjety and Royal Society discussion meetings, and of his work promoting, organising and contributing to NATO Advanced Study Institutes held at Newcastle. Not all of Runcorn's visits are recorded, even in this very large section. Many meetings in connection with the international and European geophysics and planetary science organisations with which he was associated are documented in section G, Societies and organisations.

    LPSC XIX 1115 GEOLOGY AND DEPOSITS OF THE LUNAR NECTARIS BASIN. P.D. ~pudisl, B. Ray ~awke2, and P.G. ~ucey2. 1. U.S. Geological Survey, Flagstaff, AZ 86001. 2. Planetary Geosciences, HIG, Univ. Hawaii, Honolulu, HI 96822. The 860-km diameter Nectaris basin fons a conspicuous structural and stratigraphic marker on the lunar near side. This mu1 tiring basin was among the first reco nlzed on the Noon [I]and Its deposits @PB subsequently used to subdivide lunar geologic history [23. We have undertaken studies of the geology of Nectaris basin deposits, the morphology of its ring system, and the composition of its depasi ts as determined by remote-sensing techniques to understand better the regional geology of the Hectari s area and the provenance of possible Nectaris ejecta collected fran Apollo 1anding sites (Apollo 16 in particular), and to provide additional constraints on the nature of the lunar basin-forming process. This study extends our ongoing investigation of lunar basins using the methodology we have previously applied to the Orientale [3] and Imbrium [4] basins. Nectaris basin deposits and ring system. Although the Nectaris basin is heavily modified by the superposition of crater and other basin deposits, we can still recognize several geologic units that, by virtue of their position and stratigraphic relations, appear to represent Nectaris basin units. The most conspicuous unit is the Janssen Formation (Fm.) [2,5]; this unit is exposed primarily southeast of the basin rim and consists of coarsely lineated material whose lineations are radial to the center of the Nectaris basin (at 16' S, 34' E).
