  Chandler (crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chandler is a lunar crater that is located in the northern hemisphere, on the Moon's far side.
It lies to the southeast of the large D'Alembert walled plain, and southeast of the slightly smaller Chernyshev crater.
The remainder of the floor is somewhat irregular, with multiple tiny craters and a pair of small impacts near the southern rim.

 (XIX) Combat Patrol
Chandler reported his position to the observation post, using the radio because all wire for the soundpowered telephone had been used.
At about 0245 Chandler decided to withdraw, but when he asked the radio operators to send back the message that the patrol was breaking contact and withdrawing, he discovered the casualties and the destruction of the radios.
Lieutenant Chandler displayed a knowledge of the psychology of leadership when he repeated to his patrol the battalion's rule that no man who became a casualty would be left.

 New crater rocks tempting for Mars rover - 07 May 2004 - New Scientist
The crater is about 20 metres deep and has cliffs of bedrock in places that are 5 to 10 metres high.
That is far more expansive than the bedrock outcrop Opportunity spent its first weeks studying inside the tiny crater called Eagle in which it landed.
Some of the most interesting outcrops appear to be nearly vertical, and even the much shallower angles of Eagle crater made it difficult for the rover to move in the loose, slippery soil.

 GSFC Press Release 98-169
Peter Wasilewski, a Goddard meteorite scientist said that craters on Mars or in the Earth’s deserts, such as the 50,000-year-old Meteor Crater in northern Arizona, which is one-eighth the diameter of the Iturralde feature, are easy to see and study in detail.
The shape of the structure is typical of impact craters that rebound in the center after impact and form a rim around the edges.
He found that even from an airplane, the large crater is hard to see as a whole, but differences in vegetation offer evidence of a slight depression that could have been caused by a meteor impact.

 Boston Globe Online / Table of Contents
Two US Geological Survey scientists have identified a 25- mile-wide crater in Iowa as the possible site where an asteroid or comet may have crashed into the Earth 65 million years ago, causing the extinction of dinosaurs.
They believe that this suggests the impact was somewhere within 1,800 miles of the sites they studied in Montana and New Mexico, and led them to investigate a large crater near Manson, Iowa as the possible relic of the impact.
Although geologists had thought the Iowa crater was much older, Pillmore and Izett used sophisticated new dating methods to find the age of the structure and determined that it was no more than 69 million years old, placing it in the right age bracket for the Alvarez impact.

 Friends rally around leukemia victim - December 13, 2004
Friends and co-workers of Karen Chandler, a 50-year-old office manager at Hanby Middle School who is battling leukemia, are rallying to her aid with a big spaghetti feed and concert Tuesday night in Central Point.
Karen Chandler of Medford learned her life was in danger during a routine doctor’s exam in spring 2002.

 Creation of Crater Lake National Park
Passage of the Crater Lake bill occurred three years before Pinchot created the U.S. Forest Service and stimulated transfer of the reserves from control by the Interior Department's General Land Office to the Department of Agriculture.
Crater Lake National Park was established without the adjoining Diamond Lake area which had been in the original reservation.
A similar irony exists at Crater Lake where extensive research is being conducted to determine if a geothermal energy company's drilling outside the park could affect the lake.

 Science Fiction to Science Fact
Chandler intuitively seemed to know what direction to steer their research, but it was John who made sure they got there via careful scientific experimentation.
It was an old crater and some process had worn away the rim, so climbing out of it was simply a matter of walking up a steep slope.
Chandler had never liked the prebiotic soup concept, even though it was the standard theory for how life had developed on Earth.

Chandler was the first veterinary surgeon in the Arizona territory.
He purchased 80 acres south of Mesa in 1891, founded Chandler in 1912, and became one of the areas most successful developers.
Not wanting to disturb the rim of the crater by leveling the area for a building, or to prop up structure on posts, Wright designed the building in a series of terraced levels embracing the natural slope.

 Research Project -- Radar Mapping of the Lunar Poles
While most of its surface is exposed to the Sun over the course of a month, the Moon has a small number of areas close to its poles which are never illuminated.
Primarily located in crater floors, these regions of permanent shadow could trap and retain deposits of water ice or other frozen volatiles delivered by comet impacts.
Thick layers of ice are found in shadowed polar craters on Mercury, despite the very high temperatures of sunlit regions.

They recognise that this may be a journey of no return, since the steep slopes and loose material of the impact crater may make it impossible for the golf-cart-sized craft to make it back out again.
The stadium-sized Endurance crater is the second visited by Opportunity.

 Cornell News: No ice found at lunar poles
His collaborators on the latest radar probe of the moon were Donald Campbell, professor of astronomy at Cornell University; J.F. Chandler of Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory; and Alice Hine, Mike Nolan and Phil Perillat of the Arecibo Observatory, which is managed by the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center at Cornell for the NSF.
The Arecibo radar probed the floors of two craters in permanent shadow at the lunar south pole, Shoemaker and Faustini, and, at the north pole, the floors of Hermite and several small craters within the large crater Peary.
In contrast, Clementine focused on the sloping walls of Shackleton crater, whose floor can't be "seen" from Earth.
