  • 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.

  • O Lunar and Planetary Institute Provided by the NASA Astrophysics Data System GEOCHEMICAL ANOMALIES
    THE ORIGIN OF SELECTED GEOCXEMICAL MOMALIES ON THE LUNAR SURFACE. B.R. Hawke, Hawaii Inst. of Geophysics, Univ. of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI 96822; P.D. Spudis, Dept. of Geology, Ariz. State Univ., Tempe, AZ 85281; P.E. Clark, Jet Propulsion Lab., Cal. Inst. of Tech., Pasadena, CA 91109 Introduction: Analyses of the orbital geochemistry data sets have shown that some lunar regions have unusual abundances of certain elements relative to surrounding or adja- cent areas, or have a surface chemistry unlike that which would be anticipated from the examination of local geologic relationships. Investigation of the formation of geochemi- cal anomalies can provide important clues to understanding impact and volcanic processes operative during the early phases of lunar evolution as well as the lateral and vertical composition of the highlands crust (1,2,3,4). 'J3e purposes of the present study include the following: 1) to locate and determine the extent of geochemical anomalies in selected lunar regions, 2) to determine the compo- sitions of anomalous regions, 3) to correlate the anomalies with specific geologic units or surface features, and 4) to determine the origin of the anomalies and associated surface features. Method: Digital versions of the various orbital chemistry data sets were obtained and utilized in this study. The &/Si values utilized were the newly revised data des- cribed by Clark and Hawke (5). The digital Fe and Ti data used were those presented by Davis (6). The Th abundances are those presented by Metzger et.(7). In addition, images showing Fe and Ti abundances as determined by Metzger and co-workers (8,9) were kindly provided by Dr.

    On the Roles of Escape Erosion and the Relaxation of Craters on Pluto S. Alan Stern, Simon Porter, and Amanda Zangari Southwest Research Institute Boulder, CO 80302 Abstract Pluto and its satellites will be the most distant objects ever reconnoitered when NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft conducts its intensive flyby of this system in 2015. The size-frequency distribution (SFD) of craters on the surfaces in the Pluto system have long been expected to provide a useful measure of the size distribution of Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) down to much smaller size scales than presently observed. However, currently predicted escape rates of Pluto’s atmosphere suggest that of order one-half to several kilometers of nitrogen ice has been removed from Pluto’s surface over geologic time. Because this range of depths is comparable to or greater than most expected crater depths on Pluto, one might expect that many craters on Pluto’s surface may have been removed or degraded by this process, biasing the observed crater SFD relative to the production-function 1 crater SFD. Further, if Pluto’s surface volatile layer is comparable to or deeper than crater depths, and if the viscosity of this layer surface ice is low like the viscosity of pure N2 ice at Pluto’s measured 35 K surface temperature (or as low as the viscosity of CH4 ice at warmer but plausible temperatures on isolated pure-CH4 surfaces on Pluto), then craters on Pluto may also have significantly viscously relaxed, also potentially biasing the observed crater SFD and surface crater retention age.

  • The Archaeology and Anthropology of Quaternary Period Cosmic Impact
    Chapter 2 The Archaeology and Anthropology of Quaternary Period Cosmic Impact W. Bruce Masse 2.1 Introduction Humans and cosmic impacts have had a long and intimate relationship. People live in ancient impact craters, such as at Ries and Steinheim in Germany, and use impact breccias for building material. People historically witnessed and venerated fallen me- teorites, in some cases the meteorites becoming among the most sacred of objects – such as that kept in the Kaaba at Mecca. People made tools from meteoritic iron, including certain examples from the objects named the “tent,” “woman,” and “dog” by the Greenland Eskimos. And in one of the more peculiar ironies linking humans and cosmic impacts, people carved a portion of an ancient Ohio impact crater into the shape of a Great Serpent. This act not only created one of the more spectacular ar- chaeological sites in North America, but also depicted a symbol used by a number of cultures to represent comets, the very source of some impact craters on the Earth. Despite the close relationship between people and things that fall from the sky, archaeologists and anthropologists thus far have played little role in research and is- sues concerning cosmic impact. This situation reflects modeling by the NEO commu- nity (… those planetary scientists who study potentially-threatening near Earth ob- jects) that “globally catastrophic” impacts – i.e. impacts capable of directly or indirectly killing a quarter of the Earth’s human population (Chapman and Morrison 1994) cur- rently estimated at an impact energy of around 106 megatons (MT) or slightly less – occur on the average of about once every 500 000 to a million years (Toon et al.

  • Yellowstone Science a Quarterly Publication Devoted to the Natural and Cultural Resources
    Yellowstone Science A quarterly publication devoted to the natural and cultural resources Tales of Yellowstone’s First Tourists The Value of Nature Notes A Wolf-Coyote Face-off Nature on Display Volume 8 Number 1 A Drop in the Historical Bucket Have you ever wondered about the first visitors to Yellowstone—how difficult a journey they might have had, and what their impressions would have been of the strange things they experienced? The first party was not unlike that of George Mallory and company when, in their attempt to surmount the world’s tallest peak, they “hiked off the map” into unknown territory—with little of the preparatory whirlwind that can accompany a park visitor today. No pre-drawn “trip-tik”; no reserved lodging or campsite awaiting; no web sites, guidebooks, or CD–roms to suggest “can’t miss” highlights of Yellowstone. In the wake of reports from the Washburn and Hayden expeditions of 1870–1871, Clawson, Raymond, and friends set out to explore what was to become the world’s first national park. Lee Silliman shares excerpts of the travelers’ accounts, which perhaps leave us with as many questions as they answer. Thomas Patin paints a picture of how later visitors to the more well-traveled park might stand at an overlook to enjoy the view, and experience what exhibit designers tried to conjure up in a cyclorama display. Was this by design or accident? Will a “magisterial gaze” at the live Yellowstone ever be supplanted by the vicarious visit to the TV travelogue or the multidimensional web site? Or will there always be plenty (perhaps even an excess) of people who must experience the real thing, a place that will never be as static as a museum display? For nearly 50 years, people living and working in the park shared their experiences and natural history observations in Nature Notes.
