Due to the
large number of images and individual websites, both lunar atlases are opened
in a separate browser window. They are a completely separate area within our
chameleon site.
Two examples perfectly illustrate the high image
resolution: The "Floor Fractured" crater Alphonsus with rilles and pyroclastic
volcanism and the two small volcanic structures Isis and Osiris in the Mare
Tranquillitatis southwest of the landing area of Apollo 17.

Extensive
texts describe the individual structures in detail. |

LUNAR ATLAS 01
This website shows a large part of the front of the Moon
at an intervall of about 24 hours and a moon age from 4.5 to 14.8 days (17 -
100% illumination) with special attention to small
structures lunar volcanism in high resolution.
It shows in detail volcanic structures like
Floor Fractured Krater, lunar Domes, Megadomes, Plateaus, sinuous Rilles and
areas with Pyroclastic Deposits.
The image
resolution is on average between 1,000 to 2,000 meters, whereas for some
images - depending on the lunar distance, the position of the details in
viewing direction to the earth and the illumination - it is even under 1,000
meters. Height differences of about 50 m are visible. |

LUNAR ATLAS 02
This
website shows a majority of the front of the moon at intervals of a moon
age from 4.5 to 13.1 days (17 - 95% illumination). This
second atlas shows common lunar structures like craters, rilles (grooves),
mountains etc. in high-resolution photographs. The image resolution is on average between 1,000 to 2,000
meters, whereas for some images - depending on the lunar distance, the position
of the details in viewing direction to the earth and the illumination - it is
even under 1,000 meters. The best images show details in the range < 700
meters. |
