Drawing Lunar Features

2000
Why go to the trouble of drawing lunar features? First, the exercise will force you to sharpen your visual observing skills. Later in this chapter there is a checklist that will help you to better describe what you are seeing. This exercise will also give you a chance to apply what we’ve learned about lunar geology. Second, drawings are the best way of

Lunar Features — Northeast Quadrant

2000
Murchison, a 56 km (35-mile) wide ringed plain, has been almost completely obliterated by erosion. Its west walls seem detached; the east walls are low and also eroded, but fairly bright and easy to make out even in small apertures. Murchison has often been compared to the walled plain Julius Caesar, described in the previous chapter.

Absolute coordinates of Lunar features. III.

Icarus, 1968
Abstract Absolute coordinates for lunar features have been derived using the so-called stereoscopic method. Use of a large number of plates taken at widely separated librations contributes to reducing the errors which are inherent in most coordinate systems yet produced.

Positions of lunar features from Apollo 8

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1970
From Apollo 8 data, positions were obtained for three lunar far-side features. The positions may be used to improve the accuracy of lunar far-side maps. Based on these positions, the best lunar far-side maps are estimated to be accurate to within 60 km (1σ) in latitude and longitude.

Topographic Features of the Lunar Maria and Basins

Solar System Research, 2021
More than 70 topographic profiles of 34 large lunar maria and basins were constructed and studied in order to obtain quantitative values of the parameters that characterize these formations, to identify patterns and features of their relief. The dependence of the absolute height of the bottom and the depth of the basins on latitude, longitude, size and

Coordinates of lunar features

Icarus, 1965
Abstract The Aeronautical Chart and Information Center is producing a series of one to one million scale charts over the visible disk of the Moon and charts of one to five hundred thousand in the central regions. Inadequacies of existing lunar control have necessitated the establishment of a horizontal and vertical control system to support this ...

Lunar Features and Lunar Problems

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1961
The major features of the Moon (marcs, highlands, craters, fractures) are briefly reviewed to encourage geologists to participate in the solution of lunar problems—problems involving the interpretation of varied land forms, the rock types and their distribution, potential ore deposits, and lunar tectonics.
