New World Preview
image by " rel="nofollow LRO Featured Image [NASA/GSFC/University of Arizona]
The image was labeled "thumb" suggesting that it is a thumbnail for the big image! This mosaic was made from
LRO Wide Area Camera images and it is the best every view of Orientale. The full resolution " rel="nofollow image is even
better, and of course bigger, but hugely worth exploring. There are many fresh discoveries waiting, including dark
halo craters on the mare patches - so what is under the mare, pyroclastics?, short and strange sinuous rille seg-
ments - are they in impact melt or lavas?, and swells but no domes. The WAC view is especially informative about
the western half of the basin (because we've never seen it so well before). The large irregularity of the SW part of
the rim suggests that there could be a small older basin underlying it, or perhaps it resulted from an oblique impact.
The area just beyond the N and NW rim has been plastered with impact melt, presumably, full of bouldery debris,
and similar to the material just inside the rim. After being mesmerized by the thumbnail, get comfortably seated and
prepare to explore new terrain in great detail. At some time hopefully, the entire Moon will be covered by images of
this quality and a new world will be available. Too bad America doesn't think it is worth revisiting.
