  • Planetary Surfaces
    Chapter 4 PLANETARY SURFACES 4.1 The Absence of Bedrock A striking and obvious observation is that at full Moon, the lunar surface is bright from limb to limb, with only limited darkening toward the edges. Since this effect is not consistent with the intensity of light reflected from a smooth sphere, pre-Apollo observers concluded that the upper surface was porous on a centimeter scale and had the properties of dust. The thickness of the dust layer was a critical question for landing on the surface. The general view was that a layer a few meters thick of rubble and dust from the meteorite bombardment covered the surface. Alternative views called for kilometer thicknesses of fine dust, filling the maria. The unmanned missions, notably Surveyor, resolved questions about the nature and bearing strength of the surface. However, a somewhat surprising feature of the lunar surface was the completeness of the mantle or blanket of debris. Bedrock exposures are extremely rare, the occurrence in the wall of Hadley Rille (Fig. 6.6) being the only one which was observed closely during the Apollo missions. Fragments of rock excavated during meteorite impact are, of course, common, and provided both samples and evidence of co,mpetent rock layers at shallow levels in the mare basins. Freshly exposed surface material (e.g., bright rays from craters such as Tycho) darken with time due mainly to the production of glass during micro- meteorite impacts. Since some magnetic anomalies correlate with unusually bright regions, the solar wind bombardment (which is strongly deflected by the magnetic anomalies) may also be responsible for darkening the surface [I].

  • Testing Hypotheses for the Origin of Steep Slope of Lunar Size-Frequency Distribution for Small Craters
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Springer - Publisher Connector Earth Planets Space, 55, 39–51, 2003 Testing hypotheses for the origin of steep slope of lunar size-frequency distribution for small craters Noriyuki Namiki1 and Chikatoshi Honda2 1Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Kyushu University, Hakozaki 6-10-1, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka 812-8581, Japan 2The Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, Yoshinodai 3-1-1, Sagamihara 229-8510, Japan (Received June 13, 2001; Revised June 24, 2002; Accepted January 6, 2003) The crater size-frequency distribution of lunar maria is characterized by the change in slope of the population between 0.3 and 4 km in crater diameter. The origin of the steep segment in the distribution is not well understood. Nonetheless, craters smaller than a few km in diameter are widely used to estimate the crater retention age for areas so small that the number of larger craters is statistically insufficient. Future missions to the moon, which will obtain high resolution images, will provide a new, large data set of small craters. Thus it is important to review current hypotheses for their distributions before future missions are launched. We examine previous and new arguments and data bearing on the admixture of endogenic and secondary craters, horizontal heterogeneity of the substratum, and the size-frequency distribution of the primary production function. The endogenic crater and heterogeneous substratum hypotheses are seen to have little evidence in their favor, and can be eliminated. The primary production hypothesis fails to explain a wide variation of the size-frequency distribution of Apollo panoramic photographs.

Kumaresan1 and J. Saravanavel2, 1Research Scholar, 2Assistant Professor, Department of Remote Sensing, Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli-23, Tamil Nadu, India, email: [email protected], [email protected] Introduction: The Earth’s natural satellite the tometry corrected reflectance data captured during the moon is nearest celestial body appears brightest object OP1B optical period. in our night sky. 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].

  • 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.

  • Water on the Moon, III. Volatiles & Activity
    Water on The Moon, III. Volatiles & Activity Arlin Crotts (Columbia University) For centuries some scientists have argued that there is activity on the Moon (or water, as recounted in Parts I & II), while others have thought the Moon is simply a dead, inactive world. [1] The question comes in several forms: is there a detectable atmosphere? Does the surface of the Moon change? What causes interior seismic activity? From a more modern viewpoint, we now know that as much carbon monoxide as water was excavated during the LCROSS impact, as detailed in Part I, and a comparable amount of other volatiles were found. At one time the Moon outgassed prodigious amounts of water and hydrogen in volcanic fire fountains, but released similar amounts of volatile sulfur (or SO2), and presumably large amounts of carbon dioxide or monoxide, if theory is to be believed. So water on the Moon is associated with other gases. Astronomers have agreed for centuries that there is no firm evidence for “weather” on the Moon visible from Earth, and little evidence of thick atmosphere. [2] How would one detect the Moon’s atmosphere from Earth? An obvious means is atmospheric refraction. As you watch the Sun set, its image is displaced by Earth’s atmospheric refraction at the horizon from the position it would have if there were no atmosphere, by roughly 0.6 degree (a bit more than the Sun’s angular diameter). On the Moon, any atmosphere would cause an analogous effect for a star passing behind the Moon during an occultation (multiplied by two since the light travels both into and out of the lunar atmosphere).

  • 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.

  • NEAR INFRARED REFLECTANCE DATA. C. M. Pieters, Dept. Geo. Sci., Brown Univ., Providence, RI 0291 2
    COMPOSITION OF THE UPPER LUNAR CRUST: PRELIMINARY RESULTS FROM NEAR INFRARED REFLECTANCE DATA. C. M. Pieters, Dept. Geo. Sci., Brown Univ., Providence, RI 0291 2. A data acquisition program has been in progress for three years to ob- tain mineralogical information about unsampl ed areas of the nearside 1 unar crust using near-infrared reflectance measurements of surface material. A sufficient number of areas have now been re1 iably measured to provide an es- timation of the type and variety of mineralogical rock types to expect for the upper 10 km of lunar crust. Although earthbased data are not adequate for a global survey it is clear 1 ) that distinct rock assemblages do exist at the observed scale for the upper kilometer of highland material and similar miner- al assemblages occur at widely separated regions, and 2) that material exca- vated from 5 to 10 km depth exhibit a different array of rock types, only some of which have been suspected from lunar sample studies. Data Ac uisi tion. Near-infrared ref1 ectance spectra (120 channels from .7 to_4__ 2.5 vm have been acquired for about 60 specific targets on the lunar nearside high1 ands. The observed areas (fresh simp1 e craters, massifs, and large craters with central peaks) are 4 to 10 km in diameter and were chosen because they do not exhibit a we1 1 developed soil . A1 1 data were acquired with an infrared spectrometer and an InSb detector (McCord --et al., 1981) using the 2.2m telescope of Mauna Kea Observatory. Independent measurements were repeated for at least a third of the areas observed.
