Summary
Description Mare Serenetatis AS17-M-0940-0947-0954.jpg |
English:
These are three views of
Mare Serenitatis
on the moon, taken by the mapping camera of the
Apollo 17
mission in 1972, facing north-northeast from an altitude of an average of 107 km on Revolution 27 of the mission. At the right is the east margin of Mare Serenitatis, with the 95 km diameter crater
Posidonius
at the central horizon, the basalt-flooded
Le Monnier
crater to the south, the mare ridge (or
wrinkle ridge
)
Dorsa Aldrovandi
at center,
Littrow
crater at the right, and the landing site of Apollo 17 in the lower right corner in the
Taurus-Littrow
valley. In the center is the relatively small crater
Bessel
(16 km), and two prominent rays probably from the
Tycho
impact far to the south. At the left is the western margin of the mare, with the
Caucasus Mountains
at the central horizon, the
Apennine Mountains
at left, and the
Sulpicius Gallus Rilles
at the lower right. These photos were taken within minutes of each other. The sun elevation drops from 24 degrees at right to 5 degrees at left as the Command module
America
orbited the moon.
