The surface of the Moon is highly cratered due to impacts of meteorites, asteroids, comets and other celestial objects. The origin, size, structure, age and composition vary among craters. We study a total of 33

Using both NAC and Kaguya Terrain Camera DTMs, we also determined the d/D ratios for the set of fresh simple craters larger than 400 m in diameter. The d/D ratios of these larger craters are typically near 0.21, as expected of gravity-dominated crater excavation. Fresh craters less than ...
The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and its HiRISE camera have been examining Mars' surface for years, cataloguing the planet's menagerie of impact craters. One of them, recently chosen as the HiRISEPicture of the Day(HIPOD,) looks like a Thunderbird. Or a dinosaur footprint left in the mud....
Combining camera data from Lunar Orbiter, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), Kaguya and Chang'e-1 missions, 5 representative large Copernican craters on various terrains of the lunar surface are chosen to study the origin of the pit chains in the crater floor. The morphology and distribution ...
40$ USB Super Telescope, Easy to Make, Sees Craters on the Moon: Turn an old telelens and a webcam into a powerfull telescope that is capable of seeing craters on the moon. Next to the webcam and tele lens all you need are some standard pvc plumbing mate
"The information from the depths of the moon will be one of our focuses in the exploration," said Li. The CNSA also released a video of the landing process of the Chang'e-4, which was produced by processing more than 4,700 pictures taken by a camera on the probe. ...
(2006), using an imaging campaign with the Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) to find 20 new impacts by manually comparing the repeat images of the same areas. These techniques have been continued with the Context Camera (CTX) on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter for the last ∼...

Direct measurements of the volume of melt generated during cratering have only been possible using data acquired at terrestrial craters. These measurements are usually the result of areal mapping efforts, drill core investigations, and assessments of the amount of erosion a crater and its melt sheet...
