Waning gibbous. Rises after sunset, high in the sky after midnight, visible to the southwest after sunrise. NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has been in orbit around the Moon since the summer of 2009. Its laser altimeter (LOLA) and camera (LROC) are recording the rugged, airless lunar terrain in exceptional detail, making it possible to visualize the Moon with unprecedented fidelity. This is especially evident in the long shadows cast near the terminator, or day-night line. The pummeled, craggy landscape thrown into high relief at the terminator would be impossible to recreate in the computer without global terrain maps like those from LRO.

AS13-60-8675 (April 1970) --- This bright-rayed crater on the lunar farside was photographed from the Apollo 13 spacecraft during its pass around the moon. This area is northeast of Mare Marginus. The bright-rayed crater is located at about 105 degrees east longitude and 45 degrees north latitude. The crater Joliot-Curie is located between Mare Marginus and the rayed crater. This view is looking generally toward the northeast.

P-21744 C Range 4.2 million kilometers (2.6 million miles) In this image of Europa acquired by Voyager 2, global scale dark streaks are becoming visible. Europa, the size of the earth's moon, is apparently covered by water ice as indicated by ground based spectrometers and its brightness. The central longitude of this view is 235° west. Bright rayed impact craters which are abundant on ancient Ganymede and Callisto would easily be visible at this range. The suggestion is that Europa's surface is young and that the streaks are reflections of currently active internal dynamic processes.

P-21740 C Range 2,318,000 kilometers (1,438,000 miles) This picture of Callisto taken by Voyager 2 shows the moon covered with bright spots which are metoerite impact craters--a fact originally discovered from the high resolution pictures taken by Voyager 1. Scientists believe that heavily cratered terrains like these on Callisto are indicative of ancient planetary surfaces. Voyager 2 mapped the side of Callisto not seen by Voyager 1. The obsure dark streaks in this area may be fault zones, but higher resolution pictures are needed for identification.

Eight days after its encounter with the Earth, the Galileo spacecraft was able to look back and capture this remarkable view of the Moon in orbit about the Earth, taken from a distance of about 6.2 million kilometers (3.9 million miles). The picture was constructed from images taken through the violet, red, and 1.0-micron infrared filters. The Moon is in the foreground, moving from left to right. The brightly-colored Earth contrasts strongly with the Moon, which reflects only about one-third as much sunlight as the Earth. Contrast and color have been computer-enhanced for both objects to improve visibility. Antarctica is visible through clouds (bottom). The Moon's far side is seen; the shadowy indentation in the dawn terminator is the south-Pole/Aitken Basin, one of the largest and oldest lunar impact features. Alternate Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) number is P-41508. View appears in the Space News Roundup v32 n1 p1, 01-11-93.

Range 170,000 km. ( 105,000 mi. ) Resolution 3 km. ( 2 mi. ) P-29523C This Voyager 2 photograph of the Uranian Moon Ariel, is the best quality to date. This view of Ariel's southern hemisphere is a composite of photographs taken through green, blue, and violet filters from the narrow angle camera. Most of the visible surface consists of relatively intensely cratered terrain transected by fault scarps and fault bounded valleys (graben). Some of the largest valleys, which can be seen near the terminator (at right), are partly filled with younger deposits that are less heavily cratered. Bright spots near the limb and toward are chiefly the rims of small craters. Most of the brightly rimmed craters are too small to be resolved here, although one about 30 km. (20 mi.) in diameter can be easily distiguished near the center. These bright-rim craters, thogh the youngest features on Ariel, probably have formed over a long span of geological tome. Although Ariel has a diameter of abou 1,200 km.

Range 5 million miles (8.025 million kilometers) This is a morning shot of Ganymede, largest of Jupiter's 13 satellites. It's slightly larger than Mercury with a density about twice that of water. It's believed to be made of rock and ice with a surface of water and ice. Ganymede is 4 times brighter than our Moon with the bright spot in center of photo 5 times brighter than the Moon, and may contain more ice than surrounding areas. The bright pattern around the spot seems like ray craters on the Moon and Mercury and the area may in fact be an impact crater that has exposed fresh, underlying ice. Photo taken through blue, green and orange filters.

Panorama of Moon Surface, from Apollo 16 Mission April 1972 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) American Beginning in 1968, NASA officials put great stress on the importance of creating an accurate atlas of the lunar surface by means of photography. To do so, they used extensive and technologically advanced camera equipment, most of which was designed to work with a remote human operator. This panoramic photograph was made with such equipment during the Apollo 16 mission, which launched on April 16, 1972. NASA's commitment to photography proved popular with general audiences as well as scientifically useful. In large part, that popularity reflects the widespread interest in everything connected to space exploration during the late 1960s and early 1970s, but the photographs are fascinating in their own right. Although we may be tempted to call them landscapes, the photographs are utterly unlike those of earth, exhibiting none of the traditional markers of scale, such
