Grimaldi
Submitted by:
Carol Lakomiak at Tue Dec 23 04:22:01 2003 UTC
Dark Grimaldi, peaked Hevelius and deep Cavalerius are on the center
left limb of the Moon. Of all the lunar photos I've ever taken, this is
my absolute favorite. Grimaldi and its battered surroundings are almost
lace-like in appearance... a three-tiered Victorian pendant hanging on
the waist of Lady Luna. Dec 6th 2003; single image [no stacking done];

Located on the Moon's upper left limb, crater Pythagoras is almost 80
miles across. Its terraced walls and double central mountains are most
striking when on the terminator. Dec 6th 2003; single image [no stacking

Crater Bailly
Submitted by:
Carol Lakomiak at Tue Dec 23 03:56:02 2003 UTC
The largest crater on the visible side of the Moon, Bailly is a huge
walled plain on the lower left limb, 183 miles across with walls rising
to 14,000 feet in many places. Even at top speed, it's said that the
Lunar Rover would take about a week to go all the way around the crater.

Rimae Ramsden
Submitted by:
Carol Lakomiak at Sun Dec 14 02:02:02 2003 UTC
Rimae Ramsden is the spiderweb set of narrow depression lines on the
right side of the photo, with crater Ramsden to their right. Flooded
crater Mercator is at the top, and if you look carefully you'll see a
horizontal line just below Mercator's 'handle'. That's 186 mile long
Rima Hesiodus. The large crater at the bottom is Capuanus, also flooded
with lava. All these features are located within the oval of Palus
Epidemiarum [Marsh of Epidemics]. Dec 3rd 2003; single image [no

Submitted by:
Carol Lakomiak at Sun Dec 14 00:02:01 2003 UTC
The curved 'claw-marks' on the right side of the photo are narrow lunar
depressions called rimae [singular: rima]. These particular rimae
average 149 miles and are named after crater Hippalus, the remains of
which resembles the letter 'C' and can be seen in the middle of the
rimae. Located on the left side of photo is 40 mile wide Crater
Bullialdus with central peak and terraced walls. Dec 3rd 2003; single

May 15th 2003 Lunar Eclipse 3
Submitted by:
Carol Lakomiak at Sat May 17 02:21:01 2003 UTC
Last but not least, the Moon was already emerging from our shadow as the
clouds finally allowed me another photo. It's not totality, but at least
there's a hint of peach to it.
