Lunar Features — Northeast Quadrant
2000Murchison, 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.

Estimation of Local Lunar Gravity Features
Radio Science, 1970A quantitative estimate of the gravity features on the near surface of the moon has been obtained by iteratively constructing a mass density model to improve the agreement between actual Doppler tracking data from Lunar‐Orbiter spacecraft and theoretical trajectory predictions.

Volcanic features of the nearside equatorial lunar maria
Journal of the Geological Society, 1976A map is presented of the distribution of volcanic features in the lunar maria between longitudes 50°E. and 100°W, and latitudes 50°N. and S. Flood basaltic flows predominate, and where individual flow units can be identified they may be hundreds of kilometres long.

Infrared emissivity of lunar surface features: 2. Interpretation
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1970Thermal emission spectra of six different areas on the lunar surface are discussed in the light of laboratory studies of the spectral emissivity of rocks and minerals. It is shown that the emission maxima characteristics of lunar spectra are similar to emission maxima found in the spectra of particulate rock samples.

Small‐area thorium features on the lunar surface
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2003Using an improved understanding of the Lunar Prospector Gamma‐Ray Spectrometer (LP‐GRS) spatial footprint, we have derived a new map of global thorium abundances on the lunar surface. This map has a full‐width, half‐maximum spatial resolution of ∼(80 km)2 and is mapped on the lunar surface using 0.5° × 0.5° pixels.

Positions of lunar features from Apollo 8
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1970From 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.
