A Message from the Conference Chairman When looking back on the feverish activity surrounding the opening of IPS 2000 in Montréal, I can only admire the work accomplished during that memorable week. The success of IPS 2000 is due to the efforts of the staff of the Planétarium de Montréal and the members of the various committees in charge of conceiv- ing the Conference programme; the valued fi nancial support of our sponsors; the exhibitors who came to demonstrate their latest innovations; and, of course, the delegates themselves. Each and every one of these entities deserves our most sincere thanks for their enthusiasm and participa- tion. As the Conference chairpersons have done before me, I wish to extend my gratitude to all the delegates who offered their comments regarding the organization of IPS 2000: thank you for your words of encourage- ment. IPS 2000 now dwells in the past. I hope that these Proceedings will bring back fond memories of the Confer- ence. Thanks to Marc Jobin for his editorial work. Pierre Lacombe IPS 2000 Organizing Committee Planétarium de Montréal March 2001 A Message from the IPS President Dear IPS members, At the IPS 2000 conference in Montréal, we shared our ideas and achievements in paper sessions and panel discussions. Now the pages of these conference Proceedings give us a permanent record of this wealth of presentations. Special thanks to Marc Jobin for an outstanding job of editing the many texts into this superb document. At its 1999 meeting, the IPS Council adopted a proposal by the Offi cers that Proceedings of our conferences should be sent to all members as a free benefi t of membership. We are proud to put this new policy into practice with the distribution of the IPS 2000 Conference Proceed- ings. Use them to discover or rediscover the many wonderful papers presented in Montréal. With proceedings now reaching all members, we trust that the benefi ts of our conferences will spread more widely than ever. We trust too that we have enhanced the value of your IPS membership. Sincerely, Dale W. Smith IPS President, 1999–2000 Martin Ratcliffe IPS President, 2001–2002 IPS 2000 Conference Proceedings ✹ iii Note from the Editor Dear fellow planetarians, These Proceedings are a collection of written articles which were submitted to the Papers Committee. As such, they represent a permanent record of some 81 papers out of the 100-odd oral presentations, posters, workshops and panel discussions that transpired during the four days of the IPS 2000 Conference. I wish to thank the various authors for their contributions. Papers have been grouped in broad categories; within each category, papers are presented in alphabetical order according to the name of the fi rst author. Exceptions to this rule are: closely related papers which can be found back-to-back, and panel discussions which are gathered at the end of each section. The defi nition of the categories and the subsequent classifi cation of each paper are the sole responsibility of the Papers Committee, which regrets any departure from what may have been anticipated. Some papers have been edited for clarity. Differences in usage, especially between US and British (or Cana- dian!) spelling, have been left unaltered. However, for the sake of uniformity, the editor has revised the punctuation within these Proceedings to conform with the rules prescribed in The Canadian Style: A Guide to Writing and Editing. Revised ed. Toronto: Dundurn Press Limited, 1997. Opinions expressed in the papers are those of their respective author(s) and do not necessary refl ect those of the IPS, its elected representatives or members of the Local Organizing Committee. Mention of product names or trademarks does not represent an endorsement of said products by the IPS. Unless otherwise indi- cated, all illustrations were supplied by the author(s) of the respective papers. The editor wishes to express his deep gratitude to Louie Bernstein for his outstanding job proofreading these Proceedings. Thanks are also due to my colleagues from the Papers Committee, Pierre Chastenay and Nathalie Martimbeau, for their support. And fi nally, I wish to thank the IPS Council and members for their patience during the preparation of these Proceedings: I only hope that the fi nal product will meet your expectations. Enjoy!

  • 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.

    A PUBLICATION OF THE LUNAR SECTION OF THE A.L.P.O. EDITED BY: Wayne Bailey [email protected] 17 Autumn Lane, Sewell, NJ 08080 RECENT BACK ISSUES: http://moon.scopesandscapes.com/tlo_back.html FEATURE OF THE MONTH – JANUARY 2016 GALILAEI Sketch and text by Robert H. Hays, Jr. - Worth, Illinois, USA October 26, 2015 03:32-03:58 UT, 15 cm refl, 170x, seeing 8-9/10 I sketched this crater and vicinity on the evening of Oct. 25/26, 2015 after the moon hid ZC 109. This was about 32 hours before full. Galilaei is a modest but very crisp crater in far western Oceanus Procellarum. It appears very symmetrical, but there is a faint strip of shadow protruding from its southern end. Galilaei A is the very similar but smaller crater north of Galilaei. The bright spot to the south is labeled Galilaei D on the Lunar Quadrant map. A tiny bit of shadow was glimpsed in this spot indicating a craterlet. Two more moderately bright spots are east of Galilaei. The western one of this pair showed a bit of shadow, much like Galilaei D, but the other one did not. Galilaei B is the shadow-filled crater to the west. This shadowing gave this crater a ring shape. This ring was thicker on its west side. Galilaei H is the small pit just west of B. A wide, low ridge extends to the southwest from Galilaei B, and a crisper peak is south of H. Galilaei B must be more recent than its attendant ridge since the crater's exterior shadow falls upon the ridge.

  • Sky and Telescope
    SkyandTelescope.com The Lunar 100 By Charles A. Wood Just about every telescope user is familiar with French comet hunter Charles Messier's catalog of fuzzy objects. Messier's 18th-century listing of 109 galaxies, clusters, and nebulae contains some of the largest, brightest, and most visually interesting deep-sky treasures visible from the Northern Hemisphere. Little wonder that observing all the M objects is regarded as a virtual rite of passage for amateur astronomers. But the night sky offers an object that is larger, brighter, and more visually captivating than anything on Messier's list: the Moon. Yet many backyard astronomers never go beyond the astro-tourist stage to acquire the knowledge and understanding necessary to really appreciate what they're looking at, and how magnificent and amazing it truly is. Perhaps this is because after they identify a few of the Moon's most conspicuous features, many amateurs don't know where Many Lunar 100 selections are plainly visible in this image of the full Moon, while others require to look next. a more detailed view, different illumination, or favorable libration. North is up. S&T: Gary The Lunar 100 list is an attempt to provide Moon lovers with Seronik something akin to what deep-sky observers enjoy with the Messier catalog: a selection of telescopic sights to ignite interest and enhance understanding. Presented here is a selection of the Moon's 100 most interesting regions, craters, basins, mountains, rilles, and domes. I challenge observers to find and observe them all and, more important, to consider what each feature tells us about lunar and Earth history.

  • THE STUDY of SATURN's RINGS 1 Thesis Presented for the Degree Of
    1 THE STUDY OF SATURN'S RINGS 1610-1675, Thesis presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Field of History of Science by Albert Van Haden Department of History of Science and Technology Imperial College of Science and Teohnology University of London May, 1970 2 ABSTRACT Shortly after the publication of his Starry Messenger, Galileo observed the planet Saturn for the first time through a telescope. To his surprise he discovered that the planet does.not exhibit a single disc, as all other planets do, but rather a central disc flanked by two smaller ones. In the following years, Galileo found that Sa- turn sometimes also appears without these lateral discs, and at other times with handle-like appendages istead of round discs. These ap- pearances posed a great problem to scientists, and this problem was not solved until 1656, while the solution was not fully accepted until about 1670. This thesis traces the problem of Saturn, from its initial form- ulation, through the period of gathering information, to the final stage in which theories were proposed, ending with the acceptance of one of these theories: the ring-theory of Christiaan Huygens. Although the improvement of the telescope had great bearing on the problem of Saturn, and is dealt with to some extent, many other factors were in- volved in the solution of the problem. It was as much a perceptual problem as a technical problem of telescopes, and the mental processes that led Huygens to its solution were symptomatic of the state of science in the 1650's and would have been out of place and perhaps impossible before Descartes.

The Moon's albedo averages 0.07, which lunar highlands, containing plagioclase and pyroxene. means that its surface reflects, on average, 7% of the Anorthositic gabbros contain 65-78% calcium feldspar. light falling on it. gardening The process by which the Moon's surface is anorthosite A coarse-grained rock, largely composed of mixed with deeper layers, mainly as a result of meteor­ calcium feldspar, common on the Moon. itic bombardment. basalt A type of fine-grained volcanic rock containing ghost crater (ruined crater) The faint outline that remains the minerals pyroxene and plagioclase (calcium of a lunar crater that has been largely erased by some feldspar). Mare basalts are rich in iron and titanium, later action, usually lava flooding. while highland basalts are high in aluminum. glacis A gently sloping bank; an old term for the outer breccia A rock composed of a matrix oflarger, angular slope of a crater's walls. stony fragments and a finer, binding component. graben A sunken area between faults. caldera A type of volcanic crater formed primarily by a highlands The Moon's lighter-colored regions, which sinking of its floor rather than by the ejection of lava. are higher than their surroundings and thus not central peak A mountainous landform at or near the covered by dark lavas. Most highland features are the center of certain lunar craters, possibly formed by an rims or central peaks of impact sites.
