  • The Lunar Economy - Years 1-25 Dec 1986 - Nov 2011
    MMM Theme Issues: The Lunar Economy - Years 1-25 Dec 1986 - Nov 2011 The Moon Would Seem to be a Tough Nut to Crack Until we look Closer At first we may not be able to produce “first choice” alloys and other building and manufacturing materials, but what we can produce early on will be adequate to substitute for enough products that the gross tonnage of imports from Earth can be cut to a fraction. Power Generation is essential. Better, as we point out in Foundation 2 above, the Moon has the real estate advantage of “location, location, location.” As a result, anything produced on the Moon could be shipped to space facilities in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO) at a cost advantage of equivalent products manufactured on Earth. Thus the cost of importing to the Moon those things that cannot yet be manufactured there, could be ofset by exports of Lunar manufactured goods and materials to markets in LEO and GEO. Production of consumer goods will be important and enterprise will be a key factor. It will take time, but financial break-even is possible in time. The obstacles are great. But once you look closely at the options, these obstacles fall in the ranks of those that faced MMM Theme Issues: The Lunar Economy - Years 1-25 Dec 1986 - Nov 2011 pioneers of other frontiers on Earth in eras gone by. Establishing and then elaborating the roots and possibilities of a lunar economy sufcient to support permanent pioneer frontier settlements are there, and treating them one by one has been a major theme of Moon Miners’ Manifesto through the years.

  • Lunar II Logbook
    Astronomical League 1 Introduction and Disclaimer I made this logbook as a convenient place to keep my observations for the Astronomical League's Lunar II Club, and I offer it free of charge to the amateur astronomy community. Please note that although this logbook includes spaces for all of the required observations, it does not include all of the detailed instructions needed to complete the observations. It is intended as a supplement to the official Lunar II observing list, and not a replacement for it. The official observing list can be downloaded freely from the Astronomical League at http://www.astroleague.org/al/obsclubs/lunarII/lunarII1.html . I took the cover image by afocal projection using an Orion XT6 Dobsonian reflector and a Nikon Coolpix 4500 digital camera. It is likely that typos or other errors crept in while I was putting this together. If you find any, please let me know and I will correct them for future versions of this logbook.

    Lunar Program Observing List Lunar Observing Program Coordinator: Nina Chevalier 1662 Sand Branch Rd. Bigfoot, Texas 78005 210-218-6288 [email protected] The List The 100 features to be observed for the Lunar Program are listed below. At the top of each section is a space to list the instruments used in the program. After that are five columns: CHK, Object, Feature, Date and Time. The "CHK" column should be used to check off the feature as you observe it. The "Object" column lists the features in Naked Eye, Binocular, and Telescopic order, and tells you what you are observing and when the best time is to observe it. The "Feature" column lists the 100 features to be observed. Finally, the "Date" and "Time" columns allow you to log when you observed the objects. In the last section, we have listed the 10 optional activities, and broken them down as to naked eye, binocular, and telescopic. Also on page 4, we have included four illustrations to help with observing four of the naked eye features. We certainly hope that you find the Lunar Program useful in helping you become more familiar with earth's nearest neighbor. If after completing this program you would like to do more work in this area, you may contact The Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers. Julius L. Benton Jr. ALPO Lunar Recorder % Associates in Astronomy 305 Surrey Road Savannah, Ga. 31410 (912) 897-0951 E-mail: [email protected]. Until then, good luck, clear skies, and good observing.

Along its northern border is an area called the Palus Somni, while the southern border is an area of irregular terrain that contains the ruined crater Da Vinci. The selenographic coordinates of this bay are 10.8° N, 43.2° E, and it has an overall diameter of 142 km https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taruntius_(crater) Taruntius is a lunar crater on the northwestern edge of Mare Fecunditatis and is named after Lucius Taruntius Firmanus. To the northwest is the lava- flooded crater Lawrence, to the north lie the craters Watts and da Vinci and southwest is the crater Secchi. The outer rim of Taruntius is shallow, but forms a veined, complex rampart in the nearby mare, especially to the north and southwest. The rim is broken in the northwest by the small crater Cameron. The inner rim face lacks terraces, but in the interior is an unusual concentric inner rim that is heavily worn and irregular. This is a floor-fractured crater, possibly created by an uplift of mare material from beneath the interior. There is a low central peak complex in the middle of the relatively flat interior floor. There are also some slender rilles that are concentric to the rim.

Let's journey off to the lonely Riphaeus Mountains just southwest of crater Copernicus. Northeast of the range is another smooth floored area on the border of Oceanus Procellarum. It is here that Surveyor 3 landed on April 19, 1967. Figure 27-1: The major features of the Moon on Day 22 Around the Moon in 28 Days: Lunar Observing for Beginners 3 Figure 27-2: Surveyor 3 and Apollo 12 and 14 landing sites (courtesy of NASA) After bouncing three times, the probe came to rest on a smooth slope in a sub-telescopic crater. As its on-board television monitors watched, Surveyor 3 extended its mechanical arm with a "first of its kind" miniature shovel and dug to a depth of 18 inches. The view of sub-soil material and its clean-cut lines allowed scientists to conclude that the loose lunar soil could compact. Watching Surveyor 3 pound its shovel against the surface, the resulting tiny "dents" answered the crucial question.

The Moon is nearly everyone’s first sight with a telescope, and there’s no better time to start watching it than early in the lunar cycle, which begins every month when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth. Langrenus Each evening thereafter, as the Moon makes its orbit around Earth, the part of it that’s lit by the Sun grows larger. If you look closely at the crescent Mare Fecunditatis zona I Moon, you can see the unlit part of it glows with a r a ghostly, soft radiance.
