I hope to soon see a high resolution, low sun amateur image of this area! Those were the last words of the LPOD 2 days ago,and above is the image I hoped to see!
Red Moon (and Blue Too)

We observe in visible light, and most of our imaging doesnt stray far from there. But the Moon radiates in other wavelengths as well, providing different information. This rosy Moon image was taken during the Sept. 27, 1996 lunar eclipse by the Midcourse Space Experiment satellite. The image was obtained at 4.2 microns.
A Busy Place

We think of Imbrium as a vast sheet of lava (or lavas), mostly cleanly fringed by the Apennines and other mountain boundaries. This may be a false impression resulting from a lack of high resolution images!
More Spectacular Flows in Imbrium

The lava flow in Mare Imbrium shown in a recent LPOD is the most conspicuous, but not the only flow, and certainly not the longest one. KC Pau has now provided yet another astonishing image of Imbrium lava flows.
A Chain of Mystery

Astronomers have apparently failed to notice that the Moon is getting closer to the earth. That is a possible conclusion, based upon the continually improving ability of amateurs to image delicate features previously at or beyond capabilities of even the largest observatory telescopes.
Fabulous Fab!

Have you ever looked carefully at Fabricius? I hadnt until I studied this great image. Usually Fabricius is seen as an obstruction hiding part of the floor of the large crater Janssen, but it is a fascinating crater in its own right.
The Best Lava Flow on the Moon

Mare basins are filled by a vast number of individual lava flows that erupted from many vents. Because the flows are thin - estimates are typically 10 to 30 m - their edges were relatively quickly eroded away by subsequent small impacts, and few individual flows are now recognizable.
Resource for All!!

Few books about the Moon go into a second printing. The typical lunar book is lovingly written, laidout and published, and then when the small print run is finally sold out, the book is gone forever.
Half a Crater Shadowed

This is not the highest resolution image LPOD has ever published, and it doesnt even have north at the top. But it captures the excitement of an eyepiece view when the seeing is crisp, the optics are great, and the terminator drapes impressive topography.
Almost Classic Crater

Eudoxus is a somewhat unusual impact crater. It has most of the attributes of a complex crater - its is larger than 35 km, has terraced walls, and a relatively flat, partially smooth floor. What it lacks that fresh complex craters have is a significant central peak.
