  E. Leopold Trouvelot, Perpetrator of our Problem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Ettiene Leopold Trouvelot was born on Dec. 26, 1827 in Aisne, France.
Trouvelot understood the potential magnitude of this accident and notified local entomologists but no action was taken.
A crater on the moon was named in honor of Trouvelot and he won the French Academy's Valz prize for his astronomical research.

It was close to the center of the visible disc of the moon, and was in a region that had been most carefully studied by the selenographers.
In the years 1874 and 1875, he had studied this part of the moon, but had not seen this newly reported object in the crater Hyginus, or the object Hyginus N, according to the selenographers' terminology.
They were misty light-effects upon the dark part of the moon, not like "earthshine." Our expression is that so close is the moon to this earth that it, too, may be affected by phenomena in the atmosphere of this earth.

With the arrival of the telescope in the early 17th century came a swift end to fanciful notions that the Moon's seas were composed of water.
Knowing full well that the Moon couldn't possess more than 1/5000 the atmospheric density of the Earth, Harvard astronomer William Henry Pickering (1858-1938) put forward the theory that some of the Moon's dusky spots were vast tracts of vegetation, swarms of insects or herds of animal life.
Regarding the Moon "as a sort of cosmic Clapham Junction", Harold Wilkins in his "Flying Saucers on the Moon" [7] was one of the first to establish a Moon-UFO connection, though the book's title is a misnomer since there are only a few references to matters lunar.

I began with a study of a clay model of the crater Eratosthenes sculpted by Richard Handy, a noted lunar sketch artist and sculptor.
Results of this study are available here: http://webzoom.freewebs.com/revans_01420/clay-model-study.pdf I then went on to apply the technique to images of the moon and the general technique is explained here: http://webzoom.freewebs.com/revans_01420/Tutorial.pdf.
If the moon were a pure Lambertian reflector, the limbs would be darker than the central area of the full moon.

There is no portion of the moon in which they do not abound, whether it be on the ramparts, floors, and outer slopes of walled and ring plains, the summits and escarpments of mountain ranges, amid the intricacies of the highlands, or on the grey surface of the Maria.
In many cases on the moon, though its course cannot be traced in its entirety by its shadow, yet the existence of a fault may be inferred by the displacement and fracture of neighbouring objects.
Its crest is broken on the E. by a large brilliant crater, and its continuity is interrupted on the N. by a formation resembling a large double crater, which is associated with a number of low rounded banks and ridges extending some distance towards the N.W., and breaking the continuity of the _glacis_.

Looked for crater "C", could not positively identify it, but the crater I thought was it (and most likely was it) had a bright rim, but not excessive or unusual.
The brightest area in Aristarchus was the crater floor, estimated at 10 on the Elger scale, followed by an area on the SW wall, estimated at 8.0 on the Elger scale.
Archimedes 11:26 - 12:46 UT Noted a deep notch in the shadow growing on the west interior of the crater - may be the beginning of the ray of light seen on November 27, 2002 at 11:45-12:22UT.

According to all calculations and models produced by scientists, the chances of a successful capture of the Moon by the Earth as a mere random event is one in billions.
The ice which falls in craters and depressions which are not warmed by the Sun, is then later covered by dust blown by the cold winds from inside Mercury.
During the totality of the eclipse the light and dark places on the face of the Moon could be almost as well made out as in an ordinary dull moonlight night; and the deep-red colour, where the sky was clearest, was very remarkable from the contrasted whiteness of the stars.

To the southeast of this apparent crater the ray seems to outline a faint flooded crater.
The shadow along the east part of the crater was narrower and less intense than the one in Sirsalis.

 TFTF: The Charles Fort Files
The writer, in Science Gossip, says that, on June 27, 1896, at one o'clock in the morning, he was looking at the moon with a 2-inch achromatic, power 44, when a long fl object sailed past, from west to east, the transit occupying 3 or 4 seconds.
Our own expression: that he saw a luminous object near the moon: that that part of the moon became illuminated, and the object was lost to view; but that then its shadow underneath was seen.
Upon the 26th of July, a luminous globe, size of the moon, was seen at Cologne; it seemed to be moving upward from this earth, then was stationary 'some minutes,' and then continued upward until it disappeared (Nature, 30-360).

The probe Ranger 7 crashed into the Moon in 1964, but not before relaying pictures of the inside of a crater filled with a cluster of objects that have yet to be satisfactorily, identified, appearing to be round, smooth, and symmetrical.
Many of the Moon's craters appear too round and too symmetrical to have been formed by meteor impacts, as was long supposed; Mars and Venus have similar craters, dispelling the idea that their perfection on the Moon was caused by its utter lack of atmosphere.
The Moon's seas are fused plains of soil, requiring there at one time to have been a temperature of forty five hundred degrees Fahrenheit or greater; this fused soil is loaded with rare metals and elements such as zirconium, titanium, yttrium, and beryllium, and is next to impossible to drill through.

Like many of the craters in the Oxia Palus region of Mars, Trouvelot Crater hosts an eroded, light-toned, sedimentary deposit on its floor.
Compared with the much larger example in Becquerel Crater to the NE, the Trouvelot deposit has been so eroded by the scouring action of dark, wind-blown sand that very little of it remains.
The origin of the sediments in these deposits remains enigmatic but they are likely the result of fallout from ash or dust carried by the thin martian atmosphere.

The Trouvelot site is not a flood channel but would provide samples of ancient highlands rock plus dark, wind-blown sand.
