Ridged

LPOD-Nov22%2C10.jpg
image by André Gabriël, Belgium

Quick, where is this? The elongated craters and darkness of space place this image near the limb, but that goes 360° around the Moon. The falloff of the limb to the left suggests the northern hemisphere, but the image could have south up (or some direction in between N and S), or it could even be flipped as if looking through a Schmidt-Cassegrain with an added prism to get the eyepiece in a comfortable position. We are forced to use the terrain and features shown to identify this region. There are a few small and bright walled craters and not many identifiable older ones. Do you see the long elevated ridges, with shadows between? This must be ....

The rotating globe shows locations of folks who visit LPOD. The most recent visits include location names - so you can see who else is on when you visit. For example, if you see "Wheeling/ West Virginia" I am probably editing an LPOD. After a few minutes just a small red dot appears.


You can support LPOD when you buy any book from Amazon thru LPOD!
