| − | <p>I am on travel and was not planning to write a new LPOD and then this evening I saw Wes’ new image and couldn’t help myself. Gosh, this is good! Comparison with the commonly used Lunar & Planetary Institution’s digitized Lunar Orbiter [[iv_108_h2.jpg|image]] of nearly the same area demonstrates that Wes’ image shows craters not visible of that orbital view and the rilles and other features are more sharply displayed - and there are no lines from the Orbiter’s photo-reconstruction process! Both Alphonsus and Arzachel are floor-fractured craters, and Alphonsus is the easiest place on the Moon to see volcanic dark halo craters. The Imbrium Basin impact-forming event created a number of radial crater chains that are well seen east of Alphonsus as well as the three gougely like short chains just north of Arzachel. This is a glorious image - look at each square centimeter and try to understand its history!</p> | + | <p>I am on travel and was not planning to write a new LPOD and then this evening I saw Wes’ new image and couldn’t help myself.
