The continuing search for domes by members of the Geological Lunar Research group has resulted in acquisition of many excellent low Sun views of the maria, such as this one by Jim Phillips. Although...
Nearly Invisible Rille
12.02.2005 | Lunnoe foto dnya
Rilles are detectable when their narrow walls either cast a shadow or brightly reflect a high Sun. Rilles that run east-west are difficult to image because their walls are mostly not at right angles to the Sun’s illumination. That is the case with the Sheepshanks Rille seen here.

Postcard from the Moon

Mom and Dad - Well, I've been up here 10 days now and still find the reduced gravity to be the most amazing part of the whole trip. It was a little scary at first because I'd bounce so high, but now it's really fun to feel like I have super powers!

Alexander's Teacher
