| Description |
Apollo 16 Hasselblad image from film magazine 119/RR - Lunar orbit. The bright rayed crater is Lassel D, and just beyond it is Lassel J. This photo is used in Figure 4-40 of the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption: Typical mare terrain illuminated by a high Sun. The smooth surface of the Sea of Clouds approximately 20 km west of the Crater Lassell C is pocked by craters as large as 6 km in diameter. A conspicuous 3-km-diameter crater and scattered craters less than 200 m across exhibit bright halos when illuminated by a Sun 35° to 40° above the eastern horizon. The craters without halos appear almost as sharp as the bright-halo craters. Sun-facing crater walls commonly are brighter than adjacent rim deposits. Most craters have low, narrow rims that merge imperceptibly with the adjacent mare materials. An anomalously dark 3-km-diameter crater in the lower right quarter of the frame has no detectable halo, either light or dark. The Sun-facing wall is approximately as dark as the adjacent mare materials; the rim does not merge with the surrounding mare because of a sharp change in slope along its outer margin. |
