The Moon, 1975
A review is presented of four hypotheses concerning the origin of lunar craters, taking into account the bubble hypothesis, the tide hypothesis, the volcanic hypothesis, and the impact hypothesis. A description is given of a series of experiments on impact craters and studies of a meteorite crater in Arizona are considered.

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1892
ABSTRACT An abridged reprint of a popular work by Holden which appeared in The Californian in 1892. Holden describes in a popular way the state of the art of lunar observation and science with a concentration on Copernicus and the Copernican ray system. Of substantially historical interest (Copernicus is thought to be of volcanic origin,

The Moon, 1976
An analysis has been made of the tendency of large lunar craters to lie along circles. A catalog of the craters at least 50 km in diameter was prepared first, noting position, diameter, rim sharpness and completion, nature of underlying surface, and geological age.

Icarus, 1966
Abstract During the first seventh of lunar history, the cratering rate on the Moon averaged roughly two hundred times the average post-mare rate. The peak rate may have been much higher. Crater densities are thus not proportional to age. The large, circular mare basins fit the diameter distribution of the “continental” craters and are thus identified

LUNARES: lunar crater exploration with heterogeneous multi robot systems
Intelligent Service Robotics, 2010The LUNARES (Lunar Crater Exploration Scenario) project emulates the retrieval of a scientific sample from within a permanently shadowed lunar crater by means of a heterogeneous robotic system. For the accomplished earth demonstration scenario, the Shakelton crater at the lunar south pole is taken as reference. In the areas of permanent darkness within

The Craters of the Lunar Landscape
2015Titan is the furthest other-worldly landscape that we have seen. Our Moon is the closest, so close that some of its scenery was first described over four centuries ago. The Italian astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) turned his telescope to the Moon at the end of 1610, and was able to see its features clearly.

Icarus, 1970
Abstract Solidification ages from Apollo rock samples plus the present-day impact rate are used to derive the time-behaviour of lunar cratering. Indications of three different families of impacting bodies are discussed.

Icarus, 1965
10 crater radii from the shock epicenter. These fragments are located on the eroded surface of the younger Moenkopi formation and most are probably missiles ejected from the crater. The missiles ejected the farthest were probably Moenkopi fragments but are difficult to detect at present on the Moenkopi surface since the evidence of the impact, the ...

You will receive a sheet of Kuiper’s magnificent Photographic Lunar Atlas. This should be handled with great care! We have selected a region not too far from the equator and not too close to the limb, which gives some simplifications in the reduction.
