  Moore (crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moore is a lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon.
The satellite crater 'Moore L' is attached to the south-southeast outer rim.
To the east, the satellite crater 'Moore F' has a relatively high albedo rim, and lies at the center of a small ray system.

Moore, supervisor of the geotechnical engineering section of the Tennessee Department of Transportation and a member of an international scientific think tank, has located a huge crater north of the Mars equator that appears to have frozen water ice on its floor.
Moore thinks the ice is frozen water and not frozen carbon dioxide, which is known to exist south of the Mars equator.
Moore says that while studying the NASA images (captured in April by the surveyor) he noticed several unusual craters clustered together north of a large ridge.

On November 2, 1958, the Russian astronomer Nikolai A. Kozyrev observed an apparent outgassing of vapor near the central peak of Alphonsus crater.
Audouin Dollfus of the Observatoire de Paris observed a series of glows on the floor of Langrenus crater using the one-meter telescope on December 30, 1992.

Upon closer inspection it was disclosed that the crater floor had a different and higher albedo than the walls of the crater and the surface of the surrounding plain.
The crater floor also was found to have a very smooth surface and formed a distinct boundary where the floor met the crater wall.
In opposition to the theory that basalt forms the crater floor is the fact that the molten material is very likely to be dark (basalt) in contrast to the crater floor observed in the image.

Some secondary craters are elongate or overlapping to form narrow sculptured grooves; these were probably formed by low-angle trajectory material or by blocks entrained in the ejecta cloud.
As these secondary craters were later buried by the outrushing ground surge, the average velocity of this debris-laden cloud must not have exceeded 1.0 km/sec and probably was much less.

Crater counts for Callisto were taken from the low sun, 35-to-50 m/pixel “Palimpsest” (PLM), “Graben” (GRB), and “Plains” (PLN) image sequences acquired during the C3 orbit.
Trends for small craters on Callisto (including the fit for counts [individual points not shown] for small craters outside of the large catena-craters in the Gipul catena sequence) trend upwards toward the right at a slope of 1/2 to 1, whereas counts for Ganymede are nearly horizontal, or sloping upwards only slightly.

 SIGHTINGS:
Geologist Moore had already found this crater some weeks back, but I was not aware that his find was the same one discussed in that article.
An interesting sidelight to Moore's finding is the fact that Michael Malin of Malin Space Science Systems, the MGS camera contractor, at the same meeting also announced a finding of possible ice in a crater in the southern hemisphere of Mars.
In the Viking images, this crater is as round as a "soup bowl", and the shallow curvature of the terrain in the center of the crater was seen as a rolling smooth curved surface.

Running along the southwest edge of the crater floor was what appeared to be a ridge and on the east side of the crater floor appeared to be a hill to the north of which was a less elevated plateau.
Three of the spots were located in the southwest part of the crater and a fourth in the north central part of the floor of Julius Caesar.
No other craters seem to have this tonight so don't think it was a telescope/observer artifact, but have not checked the imagery to see if this is a normal feature.

Crater marking only works in DOM-compliant browsers such as Netscape 6 and Mozilla, and in IE (Mac or Windows).
Craters in the Viking Orbiter Mars Digital Image Mosaic have already been marked 40 or 50 times over, more than enough to prove the point, but you can do more if you want to.
Identifying craters on Mars is something almost anyone can do, and classifying them by age is only a little harder.

The second potential for this unusually smooth feature on the floor of these craters is that upon impact, a crack was created in the crust disrupting the molten material which then flowed into the crater floor upon which water-ice flowed and froze on top.
The theory that the crater floor is made of basalt (molten rock material) is not likely as basalt is generally dark in color and the surface in question is quite light.
As Moore points out, it is suggested that this crater cluster in the Cydonia area may represent the location of near surface water-ice that is much closer to the surface and in greater quantities than previously thought.

At the beginning entrusted to Major Bill Moore, it is quickly transferred under the command from Colonel Briteis by the White House, which causes some tensions between the two astronauts who know each other well.
Briteis and Moore will be accompanied by Doctor Wernher, a scientist of the highest importance who will be charged to take pictures of the dark side of the moon.
Attracted by the gravitation of the moon, Briteis and Moore, which finally were right of their attacker, are obliged to land on the small planet.

Two bright notches in the dark crater floor could be seen in the southeast and southwest areas of the crater.
The interior of the crater was a featureless stygian fl with the exception of a brilliant (intensity 9) thread of light that ran parallel  to the illuminated east wall.
With the Blue 38A the crater is nearly invisible in direct vision; with averted vision it is clearly visible as a bluish-white area with vague mottling.

The current paradigm for complex crater collapse, therefore, involves a mechanism for reducing the strength of the sub-crater region, allowing it to flow, temporarily, as a fluid.
While observational evidence shows that the transition from central peak to peak-ring formation is a function of crater diameter, in the simulations the transition depends most sensitively on the decay rate of the acoustic vibrations.
The central uplift is 30-50 km wide and offset to the southwest of the crater centre.

 plato II
A paper recently appeared in this Journal [1] which proposed that the hook-like shadow recorded on the floor of the lunar crater Plato by Wilkins and Moore on 1952 April 3, [2, 3], is projected by a complex and elongated hill lying on Plato’s floor, at the foot of its south wall.
Each one was scanned and digitally converted to obtain the contour of: the crater rim, the hook-like shadow, the shadow cast on Plato’s floor by its east wall, the shadows of a few features lying on Plato’s east wall and the shadows of a few features lying outside Plato’s wall.
Features on Plato’s floor are similar, in particular the "hook", while those outside the crater are crudely different, revealing that the authors were concerned with few features on the floor.

 Mare Crisium (Sea of Crises)
Both are "Class 1" craters, which means that they are both relatively "young," formed after the basalts had been laid down in the mare basin.
The young age of these craters is an especially important factor in our evaluation of Peirce, as will be explained on the Peirce web page here.
The inference made by selenologists is that the impacts that formed Peirce and Picard excavated a high-magnesium substratum of basalt beneath the magnesium-poor basalts in the core sample made by Luna 24.

(Wilkins and Moore identify the westerly of these twins as Bertaud, but it seems that name didn't stick.) Rukl draws the westerly component (which he calls "A") as the lower and less defined of the two.

Crater producing impacts often leave peaks in the center of the crater.
The central peak forms initially as the crater floor rebounds from the shock of impact.
