The Moon undergoes periodic tidal forcing due to its eccentric and oblique orbit around the Earth1. The response to this tidal interaction drives temporal changes in the lunar gravity field and is sensitive to
The Phases of the Moon It's the phases of the Moon that stare us right in the face. As the Moon orbits Earth, the angle of the Sun shining on the Moon changes, and a differing amount of its surface is illuminated. The phases of the Moon change according to what's called a "synodi...
As the Moon orbits around the Earth once per month, the angle between the Earth, the Moon and the Sun changes; we see this as the cycle of the Moon's phases. Due to its... Category: Desktop Enhancements / Screensavers Publisher: RateMyScreensaver, License: Freeware, Price: USD $0.00,...
The Full Moon is often maligned for lacking contrast and interest, but Irecently claimedthat the Full Moon (at appropriate libration) can offer unique views of the polar regions that are not possible at other phases. This weekend represented just such an occurrence. The images below are all va...
different phases of the image retrieval process that are distinct from each other. The second phase, the production of the vast majority of all the of the Lunar Orbiter images, will simply involve putting tapes on the tape drive machines, acquiring the data, and processing them into images. ...
Howard (1978) noted “How the collapses occurred is an intriguing puzzle”, asked if they formed by recent gas escape, and speculated that they may be similar to Ina. Until new images were obtained in the 2000s, research focused on Ina and the other 5 locations only. In their 1980 ...
For Goal 1“determine the depth of the source of the mare basalts at Tranquillitatis,” three types of measurements are required: (1) images of the basalts, showing whether they are glassy or crystalline, and how the basalts vary from top to bottom (i.e., the missing context); (2) ...
easy work around is to flip your iPod/iPhone upside down. When you zoom in too far the image is distorted and blurry, this I cannot get used to. The only use MM Pro has is more labels for those with larger scopes like me and the fact that it has photo realistic images. It is a...
The images are the first “direct and definitive evidence” of water ice that is exposed on the surface of the moon, according to a report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.“These ice deposits might be put to use as a local resource in future exploration of the moon...
I keep seeing doom and sludge applied as their style, but I dunno, to me the Sepultura vibes are unmistakable. It certainly does embrace sludge textures. I don’t think those labels are necessarily wrong. Kurokuma just uniquely appeal to me for their rhythms more than their melodies. There...
