The moon can change color! Picture taken on 04/04/1996 at 00h02TU, near the maximum of totality. Olympus OM-1 at the focal plane of a C8 telescope (2000mm, f/10), on a Fuji color film, 400 ISO (G-400). |
APOLLO LANDING SITES
| APOLLO 11 | |
 |
Apollo 11 Tranquility Base, 28th May 2020 20:52 UT The position is indicated by the yellow cross. The smallest discernable craters are just over 1km in diameter (0.6") Scale given is approximate, as this section of the moon surface is not stricly facing Earth. Average turbulence, with atmospheric dispersion artificially elongating some craters. |
| APOLLO 12 | |
 |
Apollo 12, 1st June 2020 22:05 UT Apollo 12 landed 200m from lunar probe Surveyor 3 The position is indicated by the yellow cross. The smallest discernable craters are just over 1km in diameter (0.6") Scale given is approximate, as this section of the moon surface is not stricly facing Earth. Average turbulence, with atmospheric dispersion artificially elongating some craters. |
| APOLLO 14 | |
 |
Apollo 14 Fra Mauro Base, 31th May 2020 21:10 UT The position is indicated by the yellow cross. The smallest discernable craters are just over 1km in diameter (0.6") Scale given is approximate, as this section of the moon surface is not stricly facing Earth. |
| APOLLO 15 | |
 |
Apollo 15, near Rima Hadley, 30th May 2020 21:13 UT The position is indicated by the yellow cross. The smallest discernable craters are just over 1km in diameter (0.6") Scale given is approximate, as this section of the moon surface is not stricly facing Earth. Average turbulence, with atmospheric dispersion artificially elongating some craters. |
| APOLLO 16 | |
 |
Apollo 16, 29th May 2020 21:39 UT The position is indicated by the yellow cross. The smallest discernable craters are just over 1km in diameter (0.6") Scale given is approximate, as this section of the moon surface is not stricly facing Earth. Average turbulence, with atmospheric dispersion artificially elongating some craters. |
| APOLLO 17 | |
 |
Apollo 17 Taurus Littrow Valley, 29th May 2020 21:35 UT The position is indicated by the yellow cross. The smallest discernable craters are just over 1km in diameter (0.6") Scale given is approximate, as this section of the moon surface is not stricly facing Earth. Average turbulence, with atmospheric dispersion artificially elongating some craters. |
 |
Rima Hadley 27th Mar 2007 19:57UT Moderate turbulence, due to a nearby building. Click to enlarge. |
 |
Rupes ALTAI 12th Oct 2006 03:46UT Very strong turbulence. Image made up of a mosaic of small, individually recentered elements. |
 |
Crater GASSENDI 09th Feb 2006 21:36UT Note all the fractures inside the crater, and the partially double mountain ring. |
 |
Montes GRUITHUISEN 09th Feb 2006 21:08UT A small crater can be seen on top of mount Gruithuisen Gamma (just below the center of the picture) |
 |
Crater PRINZ 09th Feb 2006 21:29UT Ghost crater Prinz (filled with lava) is at the bottom left of the picture, with some former lava channels running from it. |
 |
Crater KRIEGER 09th Feb 2006 21:29UT Pointy shadows emerging from crater Krieger as the sun rises over the region. |
 |
Crater ARISTARCHUS 11th Jan 2006 21:29UT Vallis Schroter (the huge former lava flow) can be seen, as well as some smaller lava channels. |
 |
Craters MESSIER and MESSIER A 19th Nov 2005 00:06UT Messier A (left) is actually double, while two stripes of dark deposit can be seen at the bottom of crater Messier (right). |
 |
Vallis RHEITA 19th Nov 2005 00:11UT Very large valley, seen here as the sun is setting on the region. |
 |
Sinus IRIDUM 20th Feb 2005 20:55 to 20:58UT Mosaic from four images (76kb) This large "bay" was once part of a large crater, now filled in with lava from Mare Imbrium. |
 |
Craters CLAUDIUS and DREBBEL 20th Feb 2005 21:01UT This is a fairly old (heavily cratered) terrain. |
 |
Crater & Dome MAIRAN, Mons GRUITHUISEN 20th Feb 2005 21:17UT Dome Mairan is the tiny but bright volcanic structure at the center of the picture. |
 |
Montes & Vallis ALPES, Mons PITON 18th Mar 2005 20:24UT Crater PLATO's rim can be seen in the upper left corner of the picture. The Fracture that runs along the bottom of the Alpes valley is just visible. |
 |
Craters BIRT and THEBIT, and Rupes RECTA 18th Mar 2005 20:40UT The gentle slope of Rupes RECTA separates night and day, while crater Birt (centre of the picture) shines like a beacon in the dark. |
