Description
Stratification (Dutch: Gelaagdheid) is my somewhat clumsy description of the very weird appearance of certain chaotic regions on the moon's farside. One of those weird regions is the eastern section of the floor of farside crater Compton. To detect this sort of weird chaotic regions, one should explore the "Big Shadows" version of the LROC WAC Mosaic in the Act-React Quick Map.
- DannyCaes Jan 14, 2018
Examples:
- The very weird looking eastern section of Compton's floor: http://bit.ly/2DeCf2X
- The chaotic region east-southeast of Hohmann Q in Mare Orientale: http://bit.ly/2DdtQN5
- The weird northeastern part of Bolyai's floor: http://bit.ly/2Fm1s96
- About halfway between Bose A and Bose D: http://bit.ly/2DPBspj
- The southeastern part of Poincaré F's floor: http://bit.ly/2FPegVv
- North of Lyman, on the southern part of the floor of Poincaré (two views of it: http://bit.ly/2EiKN5Z and http://bit.ly/2ER8kvX ).
- On the eastern section of Goddard's floor: http://bit.ly/2EvXPgF
- On the southern part of Helmert's floor: http://bit.ly/2FbO88s
- East of Banachiewicz C: http://bit.ly/2EzbGDa
- The west-northwestern section of Lacus Luxuriae: http://bit.ly/2Fdqzfh
- On the floor of the unnamed crater east-southeast of Gernsback H: http://bit.ly/2oDsJhs
- East-southeast of Carver: http://bit.ly/2F7Yg0V
- The south-southwestern part of Rosseland's floor: http://bit.ly/2F94UUI
Is there some sort of "tendency" of these weird chaotic appearances to show up only on the moon's farside and at the eastern parts of mare-like crater floors? - DannyCaes Feb 9, 2018
Additional discoveries from John Moore:
- On southeastern sector of Chamberlin's floor: http://bit.ly/2Ed1cc7
- On northern sector of Chapman D's floor: http://bit.ly/2EbgNct
- Small odd-looking piece on Kekule's northern rim. Note the difference in tiny impact craters on the feature (see similar effects in Montgolfier below - are they signatures of younger material?): http://bit.ly/2EQwRRV
- On northeastern sector of Minkowski's floor: http://bit.ly/2Ed24NV
- In an unnamed, southwards crater within Montgolfier: http://bit.ly/2EQ3wXJ
- On the southwestern sector of Von Karman: http://bit.ly/2E8WAnv
Part 2 of this page: small-scale oddities and suspicious boulders
The mystery of the two odd objects at Paracelsus C
- Credit: Left, shows a General LROC view with lighting conditions coming from the east, while, the middle, shows a NAC M118769870L view with lighting conditions coming from the west (note, while the NAC view originally has north at the bottom, here, it has been correctly orientated, flipped vertically, to have north at top, and east at right). The right-most image shows an Apollo 15 (AS15-P-8873) view. - JohnMoore2
- Thanks John!!! Indeed very weird! These odd "doodads" are totally new to me!- DannyCaes Feb 8, 2018
- That's strange. The opposite illumination (sunshine from the east) shows just shadow at the southern one of those two objects. See:http://bit.ly/2EdBRPt
Several "S" shapes and other meandering "shallow rivers" immediately east of Fontenelle
See: http://bit.ly/2EV4Dp0 (are these some sort of sinuous rilles?).
Part 3 of this page: cobwebs of rilles on shallow dome-like elevations
Certain regions on the moon's near side show some sort of shallow dome-like elevations on which (as it seems) ancient systems of rilles ("cobwebs") were preserved from being erased by surrounding mare material. One could ask the question if there were much more rilles during a certain "pre-mare" era in the moon's history.
