This set of 8 tactile images (11" x 11-1/2") created by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is intended for users of all ages with particular support to those who are blind and visually impaired. Images include: The Moon; Tycho Crater; Moltke Crater; Schrodinger Basin; Theophilus Crater; South Pole Aitken (SPA); SPA size with respect to the Moon; and Impact stages. Also includes a CD which contains an audio file and text in PDF format.
The phases bring the Moon to life and highlight the complex moonscape of hills and ridges and dark and light areas. This book is designed to give you the basics about the craters that are found on the Moon.
Observing the Moon is a definitive work, written as a reference book for anyone seriously interested in the Moon and its geology. It is of course a perfect companion for practical observers. Detailed and extensively illustrated chapters catalog ail the interesting lunar features visible in modest telescopes. They are preceded by a crash course in modern lunar geology - based on the vast amount we have learned during and since the Apollo missions - and are followed by chapters on photographic and CCD imaging, drawing and lunar topography. A CD-ROM accompanies this book and contains an atlas of lunar images and much more. The CD-ROM requires a PC running Windows 3.1 or higher, a minimum of 16MB (Windows 3.1), 64MB (Windows 95 up) of memory and a 2x or faster CD-ROM player.
A photographic atlas of the moon with descriptions of topographical features; overlays identifying key features in photographs; and a day-to-day guide to observing the moon by eye, binoculars or telescope.
Impact cratering of the earth's surface is discussed and compared with lunar craters. The basic types found on earth are either simple craters or complex impact structures and basins. Meteorite fragments and shock metamorphism provide evidence of a crater's formation by meteorite impact. Known craters on earth are ordered by location and a few principal facts are given for each crater and the general terrain in which it is located. A satellite picture of each crater and maps identifying crater locations are provided. Grieve, R. A. F. and Wood, C. A. and Garvin, J. B. and Mclaughlin, G. and Mchone, J.
