New Color in Old Pictures
31.05.2005 | Lunnoe foto dnya
As the Apollo astronauts orbited the Moon they shot many photographs using various cameras including large format Hasselblads loaded with both black & white and color film. The color film provides little real color because the Moon is largely a world of grays.
Hundreds of Domes
30.05.2005 | Lunnoe foto dnya
In terrestrial volcanology the word dome most commonly refers to a silica-rich, steep-sided volcanic hill. But typical lunar domes, such as Kies Pi, are most like terrestrial small shield volcanoes which are made of silica-poor basalts and have very gentle slopes.
Melkoe lavovoe more

Lava morya Izobiliya predpolozhitel'no zapolnyaet udarnyi krater, poskol'ku more pochti krugloe, chto tipichno dlya zapolnennyh lavoi kraterov. No net nikakih priznakov etogo udarnogo basseina, za isklyucheniem neskol'kih izognutyh hrebtov, kotorye mogut predstavlyat' soboyu vnutrennee kol'co. Bassein morya Izobiliya v poperechnike sostavlyaet pochti 690 km.
Dno lunnogo kan'ona

Obychno my vidim Lunu kak dalekii mir, v kotorom ne oshushaetsya razmernost', dazhe kogda u nas est' bol'shoe teleskopicheskoe izobrazhenie poslednei. No perspektivnye fotosnimki Apollona dayut nam chuvstvo nastoyashei ob'emnosti Luny. A vysokoe razreshenie uluchshaet nashe ponimanie geologii poverhnosti. Etot effektnyi snimok Apollona 10 vdol' borozdy Arideya raskryvaet ee kak mesto, a ne liniyu.
Is It Love or a Sinus Infection?
27.05.2005 | Lunnoe foto dnya
I thought I knew the Moon until I saw this image. The right side, showing Cauchy and nearby fault, rille and domes is familiar, of course. The left side reveals features in the Bay of Love (Sinus Amoris) that I never knew existed.
A New Kind of DHC
26.05.2005 | Lunnoe foto dnya
Optical dark halo craters (DHC) are typically small impact craters that excavated into buried mare material, or they are volcanoes that ejected ash. Radar studies have resulted in the discovery of a new type of DHC: radar dark halo craters (RDHC). This radar image of Petavius and surrounding area beautifully illustrates a RDHC.
An IR Strip Across a Kipuka

What can you do when the Moon is hidden by clouds? Explore it with Clementine images! This image shows the kipuka (old surface surrounded by younger lavas) north of Menelaus, illustrated in LPOD on May 14.
Central'nyi vokzal

Uchastok Luny, vplotnuyu primykayushii k moryam Vlazhnosti i Oblakov s yuzhnoi storony nazyvaetsya bolotom Epidemii. Eto oblast' koncentracii borozd, kotorye yavno malo otnosyatsya k sosednim basseinam. Na velikolepnom izobrazhenii K. C. vidno, chto bol'shinstvo...
Snaky Rivers
23.05.2005 | Lunnoe foto dnya
The vertical strips immediately tell the historian of lunar imaging that this is a Lunar Orbiter photo. But the feature itself is difficult to identify because it is small - each vertical framelet is only about 550 m wide.
Domeland

Selenographers are confident that lunar domes are small shield volcanoes, and that swells are perhaps a type of shallow laccolith (intrusion of magma just under the surface). But what we dont understand, except in a most rudimentary way, is why domes occur where they do.
