	Barringer (lunar crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is attached to the north-northeastern rim of the Apollo walled-basin, and lies to the southeast of Plummer crater.
		South of Barringer, on the floor of the Apollo basin, is the Scobee crater.
		This crater is generally circular in form, with a slight outward bulge along the western rim.

	Apollo 20
		Apollo 20 was originally planned in July 1969 to land in Crater Copernicus, a spectacular large crater impact area.
		The remaining Apollo missions were stretched out to six-month intervals, which would have placed the Apollo 20 flight in 1974 had it not been cancelled.
		NASA had canceled the Apollo 20 mission and stretched out the remaining seven missions to six-month intervals, Deputy Administrator George M. Low told the press in an interview after dedication of the Lunar Science Institute (next to MSC in Houston).

	Lunar Geology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The fact that craters are circular, and that their ejecta is usually radially symmetrical, points to the origin of craters from a very small centralized source.
		Craters on the moon are randomly distributed on a surface of a given age, while volcanic features and other structurally-controlled forces form features that are not randomly distributed.
		Crater rays are seen as bright streaks radiating away from the crater, or crater rims, of some craters.

	Copernicus (lunar crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		South of the crater is the Mare Insularum, and to the south-south west is Reinhold crater.
		Later the crater was nick-named "the Monarch of the Moon" by Thomas Gwyn Elger.
		In 1966 the crater was photographed from an oblique angle by the Lunar Orbiter 2.

	Peirce Crater: Apollo 17 vs Lunar Orbiter 4
		The crater does not appear elliptical in the Apollo image because the camera's line of sight was almost vertical to the lunar surface, while the Lunar Orbiter image was made at an oblique line of sight.approximately 15 degrees from the vertical.
		In the Apollo photograph of Figure 1B, the two ramps (at the same position relative to the letters C and E) are barely visible.
		This feature is not brightly lit in the Apollo photograph due to the sun angle, but as can be seen in Figure 1B, there is a squarish dark patch to the left of the letter "B" corresponding in shape and orientation to the "diamond" in the Lunar Orbiter photo.

	Apollo 18
		Apollo 18 was originally planned in July 1969 to land in the moon's Schroter's Valley, a riverlike channel-way.
		Apollo 18 and 19 might be scrapped because some NASA planners wanted to use the boosters and spaceships already being built to speed the space base and space station programs.
		NASA cancelled Apollo 18 and 19 on 2 September 1970 because of congressional cuts in FY 1971 NASA appropriations.

		The third stage adapter for the Apollo 13 spacecraft 109 is lowered into place over the Lunar Module LM-7 during stacking of the Saturn SA-508 in the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Centre.
		Shortly after the transmission ended and during a routine procedure that required the crew to flip a switch that stirred one of the cryogenic liquid oxygen tanks, an explosion occurred that ended any hope of a lunar landing and jeopardized the lives of the three crew members.
		This bright-rayed crater on the lunar far side was photographed from the Apollo 13 spacecraft during its pass around the Moon.

	Apollo Expeditions to the Moon: Chapter 2
		After Apollo 7, however, the LM was not yet ready and the opportunity occurred to fly to the Moon with command and service module (CSM) only.
		Precarious though it was, Apollo 13 showed the merit of having separate spacecraft modules, and of training of flight and gound crews to adapt to emergency.
		Apollo surely is a prototype for explorations of the future when we again send men into space to build a base on the Moon or to explore even farther away from Earth.

	Apollo 14 Summary
		During the final approach, they recognized Cone Crater right at pitchover and, soon thereafter, picked up the familiar pattern of smaller craters near their aim-point another mile or so to the west.
		The Apollo missions were so short - the first three in particular - that all the astronauts really had time to do was make an intelligent selection of samples that emphasized variety.
		Apollo 14 was an important bit of preparation for the sophisticated Rover missions with which the Apollo series ended.

		It is not the biggest crater on the Moon, but it is very recognizable because of the rays that radiate from it.
		Crater 302 is the largest crater in the image and it must be pretty big since the curvature of the Moon's limb is visible.
		Crater Copernicus has a rim diameter of about 90 km and is one of the largest craters on the Moon.

		I have heard so much BS from the pro Apollo nutters nothing would surprise me. The light source seen in left picture is the SAME light source that highlights Buzz Aldrin in the controversial picture of him allegedly on the Moon.
		They are checking that the craters are exactly to scale and layout, as craters shown on the lunar photographs previously taken by high magnification telescope.
		Overall this fake crater appeared in rough format for the Apollo 14 and 15 fake pictures, and smooth format for the Apollo 16 and 17 fake pictures.

	IS NASA/NSA HIDING AN ANCIENT LUNAR “CITY”
		Below there was a very large crater that moved from the bottom of the frame to the top over a period of about 10 seconds.
		Which leads one to suspect that this isn’t a crater at all, but another beautiful, white, spherical installation (see my "Targets of Opportunity" article for a similar pattern of deception at the base of Promontory Agarum).
		At this point it should be clear that, although Doyle crater was extensively photographed by several NASA missions from essentially vertical positions, we have yet to see even one still photo that shows Doyle as it actually is. The Apollo 10 movie footage provides a direct yardstick to measure the extent of NASA’s data suppression.

	Moon Crater Messier
		These craters and the rays were probably created by a very narrow-angle grazing impact (1-5 degrees); the main impact projectile created Messier, another piece Messier A, and ejecta the rays.
		Messier B lies north of the large craters, Messier and Messier A, at long=48.0E, lat=2.0S, and is 7km in diameter and its walls are 670m high.

		It does, however, have a high density of craters and in the last seconds before landing, the LM had to be manually piloted by Neil Armstrong to avoid a sharp-rimmed ray crater measuring some 180 meters across and 30 meters deep known as West.
		he Apollo 11 LM landed approximately 400 meters west of West crater and 20km south-southwest of the crater Sabine D in the southwestern part of Mare Tranquilitatis.
		The Surveyor 5 spacecraft is approximately 25 km north-northwest of the Apollo 11 landing site, and the impact crater formed by Ranger 8 is 69 km northeast of the landing site.

	Imaging the lunar surface
		Ptolemaeus is 164 km in diameter and is centered at 9.3 S, 1.9 W. The interior of the crater is covered by the Cayley formation, a light-colored unit characterized by the gentle ridges and depressions, and numerous small craters.
		The feature was a bright walls of a small crater which is superimposed on a portion of the ejecta blanket of Herschel crater, located to the north and east of Ptolomaeus.
		The floor of the degraded crater Ptolomaeus is indeed subdued, and in its northern portion it has a deposit of brighter, hummocky material with numerous small bright craters---this deposit and these craters are almost certainly from the younger Herschel crater.

		The first clear view of the specific area where the British Beagle 2 lander should have touched down Christmas Day has revealed a one-kilometer crater dead center in the target landing zone, but officials are quick to say the discovery doesn't dash their optimism of finding the missing craft.
		In January of 1971, Apollo 14 launched on an ambitious mission to land in the Fra Mauro highlands, a region of the moon more challenging than previous explorations.
		For 11 days the crew of Apollo 7 fought colds while they put the Apollo spacecraft through a workout, establishing confidence in the machine what would lead directly to the bold decision to send Apollo 8 to the moon just 2 months later.
