  • 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.

  • Foundation's 2020 Annual Report
    FOUNDATION’S 2020 ANNUAL REPORT The Trail of Governors project survived the year 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic by hitting pause. The Trail of Governors Foundation board members decided to hold off on hosting an unveiling ceremony or installing new statues. The actual trail remains as it appeared at the start of 2020, with 25 bronze statues. While in pause mode, the board was still obligated to make payments to the artists for their work to-date on the year’s commissioned statues. Attempts to seek donors and payments from those that relayed interest in donating pre-Covid-19 were dismal given the economic uncertainty and health concerns brought by the pandemic. Therefore, board members and advisors got busy filling out applications for grants to find financial assistance. The project was awarded two grants, one from the South Dakota Small Business Grant for $80,000 and one from the South Dakota Humanities Council’s CARES Relief Act for $10,000. These grants provided the necessary support to make M.Charles Michael Herreid Rounds – 4th- 31st Governor Governor of Southof South Dakota Dakota payments to the 2020 – now year 2021 – sculptors. 2020 Trail of Governors Annual Report Charles H.

  • Patriotic Pageantry: Presidential Visits to South Dakota
    Copyright © 2001 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Patriotic Pageantry: Presidential Visits to South Dakota Harold H. Scbuler outh Dakota citizens came out by the thousands to welcome thirteen presidents from 1899 to 1999. Flags and bunting float- Sed from rooftops and doorways, bands played, and bells rang to mark each gala occasion. Cheering crowds jammed parade routes and strained to catch sight of the president. A hol- iday atmosphere surrounded the visit of William McKinley, the first presidential visitor to the state, when an estimated one hun- dred thousand people gathered in city streets and at railroad depots to see him. The only nineteenth-centur>' president to visit South Dakota, McKinley was also the only president unaccom- panied by the Secret Service. Established in 1865 to investigate rampant counterfeiting, the agency was not charged with pro- tecting the president until after McKinley's assassination in 1901. Throughout the 1900s, presidential visits continued to be awe- inspiring public events, with thirty-six South Dakota cities host- ing at least one president. More than patriotic pageantry for just one man, these visits were also the story of a traveling White House amidst a swirl of Secret Service security, press corps, and politics. William McKinley, 14 October 1899 n the third year of his presidency. William McKinley agreed to visit South Dakota on 14 October 1899 as a part of a mid- Iwestern tour. It may well have been the state's biggest one- day celebration as the president "was met with tlie most enthu- siastic ovation at every point," the Aberdeen Daily Neu)S report- ed.

  • And the Origins of Modern Meteorite Research URSULAB
    Meteor;t;cs & Planetary Science 3 1,545-588 (1996) a Meteoritical Society, 1996 Pnnted in USA. Invited Review Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni (1756-1827) and the origins of modern meteorite research URSULAB. MARVIN Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02 138, USA Author's e-mail address: [email protected] (Received 1996 April 16; accepted in revised form 1996 July 3) ~ ~ Abstract-In 1794, Ernst F. F. Chladni published a 63-page book Uber den Ursprung der von Pallas gefun- denen und anderer ihr anlicher Eisenmassen und uber einige damit in Verbindung stehende Naturer- scheinungen in which he proposed that meteor-stones and iron masses enter the atmosphere from cosmic space and form fireballs as they plunge to Earth. These ideas violated two strongly held contemporary beliefs: (1) fragments of rock and metal do not fall from the sky, and (2) no small bodies exist in space beyond the Moon. From the beginning, Chladni was severely criticised for basing his hypotheses on his- torical eyewitness reports of falls which others regarded as folk tales and for taking gross liberties with the laws of physics. Eight years later, the study of fallen stones and irons was established as a valid field of investigation. Today, some scholars credit Chladni with founding meteoritics as a science; others regard his contributions as scarcely worthy of mention. Writings by his contemporaries suggest that Chladni's book alone would not have led to changes of prevailing theories; thus, he narrowly escaped the fate of those scientists who propose valid hypotheses prematurely. However between 1794 and 1798, four falls of stones were witnessed and widely publicized.

  • Observing the Lunar Libration Zones
    Observing the Lunar Libration Zones Alexander Vandenbohede 2005 Many Look, Few Observe (Harold Hill, 1991) Table of Contents Introduction 1 1 Libration and libration zones 3 2 Mare Orientale 14 3 South Pole 18 4 Mare Australe 23 5 Mare Marginis and Mare Smithii 26 6 Mare Humboldtianum 29 7 North Pole 33 8 Oceanus Procellarum 37 Appendix I: Observational Circumstances and Equipment 43 Appendix II: Time Stratigraphical Table of the Moon and the Lunar Geological Map 44 Appendix III: Bibliography 46 Introduction – Why Observe the Libration Zones? You might think that, because the Moon always keeps the same hemisphere turned towards the Earth as a consequence of its captured rotation, we always see the same 50% of the lunar surface. Well, this is not true. Because of the complicated motion of the Moon (see chapter 1) we can see a little bit around the east and west limb and over the north and south poles. The result is that we can observe 59% of the lunar surface. This extra 9% of lunar soil is called the libration zones because the motion, a gentle wobbling of the Moon in the Earth’s sky responsible for this, is called libration. In spite of the remainder of the lunar Earth-faced side, observing and even the basic task of identifying formations in the libration zones is not easy. The formations are foreshortened and seen highly edge-on. Obviously, you will need to know when libration favours which part of the lunar limb and how much you can look around the Moon’s limb.

    LPSC YXI 473 THE COMPOSITION OF THE CRUST IN THE ORIENTALE REGION OF THE MOON: A PRE-GALILEO VIEW. B. Ray ~awkel,P.D. Spudisz, P.G. ~uceyl,and J.F. ~elll,1 Planetary Geosciences Division, Hawaii Institute of Geophysics, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI 96822, 2~.~.~.~.,Flagstaff, AZ 86001. In December, 1990, the Galileo spacecraft will encounter the Moon and provide a wealth of new spectral data and imagery for the western limb region that can be used to address a variety of important lunar issues. In order to prepare for this encounter, we are in the process of collecting new spectral data for the Orientale region. In November, 1989, we obtained a large number of UVNlS spectra (0.4-0.8 pm) for the western limb and this data are currently being reduced and analyzed. Other observing runs are planned in the near future. The Orientale basin has been the subject of extensive geologic and remote sensing studies in recent years and much has been leamede.g-, l1p12 . The purpose of this paper is to review recent remote sensing studies of Orientale and summarize our current understanding of the composition of the crust in this region. The Orientale impact occurred in rugged highlands on the southwestern limb of the Moon and was the last of the major basin-forming events. Valuable insight concerning lateral and vertical changes in the composition of the lunar crust can be provided by studies of material exposed by lunar impact basins. These impacts have excavated material from a variety of depths and deposited this ejecta in a systematic manner.
