It is authorized by the Board of Regents of the Universities and State College of Arizona to grant the following degrees: Associate of Science, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science in Education, Bachelor of Science in Forestry, Master of Science, Master of Arts, Master of Arts in Education, and Educational Specialist. MEMBERSHIPS The institution is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, . Association of State Colleges and Universities and the American Council on Education. Arizona State College at Flagstaff has been approved by the American Associa­ tion of University Women. This means that all women graduates holding a bacca­ laureate degree from this institution are eligible for membership in the A.A.U.W. These memberships assure the student that he is attending an institution with high standards of scholarship and student service, and that he enjoys all the advant­ ages that are had by graduates of other colleges and universities which are members of the above associations. CURRICULA Two-year curricula are offered in the following fields: nursing, secretarial studies, and technology. Four-year curricula are offered in many academic areas in liberal arts and sciences, leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science. Consult the index for information concerning specific academic areas in which curricula are offered. A four-year professional program in forestry is offered, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Forestry. The institution also offers a four-year curriculum in elementary and secondary education, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education and certification to teach. The fifth-year areas lead to the degrees of Master of Science, Master of Arts and Master of Arts in Education. A sixth-year program of graduate study is offered, leading to the degree of Educational Specialist. Further information about all graduate programs can be secured by consulting the graduate bulletin. The North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in 1962 granted full accreditation of our sixth-year Educational Specialist degree program. In the same year the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education accredited the programs for the preparation of elementary teachers, secondary teachers, and school service personnel, with the sixth year as the highest degree level. LOCATION The institution is outstanding in the combination of location and educational advantages it offers. Located in Flagstaff, in Northern Arizona, which is never too hot and seldom ever cold, the college has within ready access national parks and monuments, forests, deserts, mountains, lakes, unique geological phenomena, ruins of the earliest Indian cultures and Indian country—all the resources necessary for invigorating activity and first-hand serious study. 6 Flagstaff is at the base of the San Francisco Peaks, on the main line of the Santa Fe railroad, on U. S. Highways 66 and 89 and State Highway 79, within two-hour 1 drive of the Grand Canyon of Arizona and 2 /2 hours drive to Phoenix. It is also served by airline and by two trans-continental bus lines. The city is situated in the Coconino National Forest at an elevation of 7,000 feet. The elevation, the protection provided by the forest, and the Arizona sunshine give Flagstaff an unsurpassed all- the-year-around climate. In the summer it is one of the coolest cities in the United States, having an average temperature of sixty-five degrees. No location in the Southwest offers more ideal conditions for study and recreation. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE This institution is multi-purpose, with responsibility to maintain an

  • 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 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.

    E HARVARD COLLEGE OBSERVATORY Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 INTERIM REPORT NO. 2 on e NGR 22-007-194 LUNAR NOMENCLATURE Donald H. Menzel, Principal Investigator to c National Aeronautics and Space Administration Office of Scientific and Technical Information (Code US) Washington, D. C. 20546 17 August 1970 e This is the second of three reports to be submitted to NASA under Grant NGR 22-007-194, concerned with the assignment I of names to craters on the far-side of the Moon. As noted in the first report to NASA under the subject grant, the Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature (of Commission 17 of the International Astronomical Union, IAU) originally assigned the selected names to features on the far-side of the Moon in a . semi-alphabetic arrangement. This plan was criticized, however, by lunar cartographers as (1) unesthetic, and as (2) offering a practical danger of confusion between similar nearby names, par- ticularly in oral usage by those using the maps in lunar exploration. At its meeting in Paris on June 20 --et seq., the Working Group accepted the possible validity of the second criticism above and reassigned the names in a more or less random order, as preferred by the cartographers. They also deleted from the original list, submitted in the first report to NASA under the subject grant, several names that too closely resembled others for convenient oral usage. The Introduction to the attached booklet briefly reviews the solutions reached by the Working Group to this and several other remaining problems, including that of naming lunar features for living astronauts.

The origin, size, structure, age and composition vary among craters. We study a total of 339 craters observed by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC). Out of these 339 craters, 214 craters are known (named craters included in the IAU Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature) and 125 craters are unknown (craters that are not named and objects that are absent in the IAU Gazetteer). We employ images taken by LROC at the North and South Poles and near side of the Moon. We report for the first time the study of unknown craters, while we also review the study of known craters conducted earlier by previous researchers. Our study is focused on measurements of diameter, depth, latitude and longitude of each crater for both known and unknown craters. The diameter measurements are based on considering the Moon to be a spherical body. The LROC website also provides a plot which enables us to measure the depth and diameter.
