0-APOLLO 15-launch_wide.jpgThe Launch of Apollo 15227 visiteThe "ORIGINAL" Apollo Time-Table (from Apollo 13)
APOLLO 13. March, 1970. Land in Fra Mauro formation of flat highlands, stay about 22 hours. Collect soil and rock from an old area relatively untouched by what many believed were ancient floods or volcanoes.
APOLLO 14. July, 1970. Land in Censorinus Crater area for a stay of about 22 hours. Investigate craters, possibly carved in Moon's surface by meteors.
APOLLO 15. November, 1970. Land in Littrow area of volcano-like projections, remain about 22 hours. Attempt a pinpoint landing on an exact, pre-selected target.
APOLLO 16. March, 1971. Descend to Crater Copernicus, remaining for about 70 hours. Extract from crater and high-rising column within formation rocks believed to be from far below the lunar surface.
APOLLO 17. Late in 1971. Land near rugged highland crater Tycho for stay of about 70 hours. Test first moon "rover" vehicle.
APOLLO 18. Early 1972. Land in Marius Hills, remain about 70 hours. Collect soil and rock samples from volcanic-like domes and valleys between.
APOLLO 19. Middle or late 1972. Land deep in Schroeter's Valley, with about 70 hours on the surface. Attempt a descent into a deep crater to determine cause of mysterious "red flashes" seen there by astronomers.
APOLLO 20. Late 1972 or early 1973. Land near the Hyginus Rill, a long, major canyon, for stay of about 70 hours. Investigate canyon for possible lunar core material.
This timeline had been altered slightly even before the Apollo 13 mission, when in January, 1970, Apollo 20 was cancelled in order to reserve the last production Saturn V for use in launching the planned Skylab orbiting laboratory a few years later. This change shifted the planned Apollo 18 and 19 lunar missions to 1974 to follow Skylab, but further budget-cutting in late 1970 also resulted in the cancellation of Apollo 18 and 19.

0-The launch of Apollo12-s69-58564.jpgThe Launch of Apollo 12116 visiteLa seconda "Avventura Lunare" sta avendo inizio: un cielo cupo e nuvoloso aspetta il vettore Saturno V che, in questa immagine, si sta appena sollevando da terra.
Una "missione di routine", si dira' in seguito.
Routine.
Che equivale a dire "ordinaria".
Andare sulla Luna era, a parere degli "Esperti", una cosa "ordinaria"!
Eravamo all'inizio degli anni '70... Oggi, andare sulla Luna, e' poco meno di un sogno.
C'e' da pensare, non credete?!?

0-The launch of Apollo14-KSC-71PC-189.jpgThe Launch of Apollo 14112 visiteUn'immagine "déjà vu", ma sempre magica: l'Apollo 14 (spinto dal vettore Saturno V) sta per andare incontro al suo destino ed alla splendida Luna, che lo attende...

0-The launch of Apollo16-KSC-72PC-176.jpgThe Launch of Apollo 16142 visiteQuello che c'era da da dire sui momenti del "lancio" relativi a ciascuna Missione, è stato già detto...
Buona "Moon -Walk", dunque!

0-The launch of Apollo17-liftoff-noID.jpgThe "Last Launch": Apollo 17135 visiteQuesta immagine del vettore Saturno V che sta per lasciare la rampa di lancio non è un "Farewell": è solo un (triste, ma del tutto temporaneo - speriamo...) "Good-Bye"!

006-Ceres.jpg1-Ceres (natural colors, from HST - credits: NASA/ESA et al.)54 visiteThe Hubble image of Ceres on the reveals bright and dark regions on the asteroid's surface that could be topographic features, such as craters, and/or areas containing different surface material. Large impacts may have caused some of these features and potentially added new material to the landscape. The Texas-sized asteroid holds about 30 to 40% of the mass in the Asteroid Belt.
Ceres' round shape suggests that its interior is layered like those of terrestrial planets such as Earth. The asteroid may have a rocky inner core, an icy mantle, and a thin, dusty outer crust. The asteroid may even have water locked beneath its surface. It is approx. 590 miles (950 Km) across and was the first asteroid discovered in 1801.
The observation was made in visible and ultraviolet light between December 2003 and January 2004 with the HST Advanced Camera for Surveys. The color variations in the image show either a difference in texture or composition on Ceres' surface.
Astronomers need the close-up views of the Dawn spacecraft to determine the characteristics of these regional differences.

007-Ceres-PIA10235.jpg1-Ceres (natural colors, from HST - credits: NASA/ESA et al.)54 visiteCaption NASA:"This is a NASA Hubble Space Telescope color image of 1-Ceres, the largest object in the Asteroid Belt.
Astronomers enhanced the sharpness in these Advanced Camera for Surveys images to bring out features on Ceres' surface, including brighter and darker regions that could be asteroid impact features.
The observations were made in Visible and UV Light between December 2003 and January 2004.
The colors represent the differences between relatively red and blue regions. These differences may simply be due to variation on the surface among different types of material.
Ceres' round shape suggests that its interior is layered like those of terrestrial planets such as Earth. Ceres may have a rocky inner core, an icy mantle, and a thin, dusty outer crust inferred from its density and rotation rate of 9 hours. Ceres is approximately 590 miles (about 950 Km) across and was first discovered in 1801".MareKromium

009-1-Ceres-PIA19884-PCF-LXTT-IPF-1.jpgWhite Unnamed Crater on 1-Ceres (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga/Lunar Explorer Italia/Italian Planetary Foundation)60 visiteToday's APOD is an Extra Detail Magnification (or "EDM", for short) of yesterday's Contextual (or "CTX", for short) Frame, taken by the NASA - Dawn Spacecraft that shows us a small White Crater (---> also informally known as "White Spot") that is located in the Northern Hemisphere of the Dwarf Planet named 1-Ceres.
Now, we ask you one (extremely complicated, in fact) question that you, however, should try to answer: why, on 1-Ceres, the huge and deep Impact Craters do not show "White Material" inside them, while, on the other hand, the small and shallow ones (Impact Craters) do? Probably because, but we, as IPF, cannot be sure of this (just like everyone else), the White Material, in the end, does not belong to/comes from the Sub-Surface of 1-Ceres (as we thought, at the beginning), but it belongs to/comes from the Impactors. And you, what do you think?...If you want to share your opinion, please, write us at alphacentauri@intercom.it
The picture was taken from an altitude of approx. 915 miles (such as about 1472,5461 Km) from the Surface, with a resolution of roughly 450 feet (such as about 137,16 meters) per pixel, was taken on August 21, 2015.
This image (which is a crop taken from an Original NASA - Dawn Spacecraft's b/w and NON Map-Projected frame published on the NASA - Planetary Photojournal with the ID n. PIA 19884 - Dawn HAMO Image 8) has been additionally processed, extra-magnified to aid the visibility of the details, contrast enhanced and sharpened, Gamma corrected and then colorized (according to an educated guess carried out by Dr Paolo C. Fienga-LXTT-IPF) in Absolute Natural Colors (such as the colors that a normal human eye would actually perceive if someone were onboard the NASA - Dawn Spacecraft and then looked ahead, towards the Surface of 1-Ceres), by using an original technique created - and, in time, dramatically improved - by the Lunar Explorer Italia Team.MareKromium

010-1-Ceres-PIA19898-PCF-LXTT-IPF.jpgUnnamed Crater on the Terminator of 1-Ceres (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga/Lunar Explorer Italia/Italian Planetary Foundation)60 visiteThis simply beautiful Contextual (or "CTX", for short) Frame, taken by the NASA - Dawn Spacecraft on August, 26, 2015, shows us, among other interesting things, an Ancient and extremely Complex Unnamed Impact Crater (which seems to be characterized by the presence of an unusually-looking - we would say, as IPF, "columnarly-shaped", maybe? - Central Peak) that is located near the Terminator Line of the Dwarf Planet named 1-Ceres.
If you will pay attention to the frame, you might agree on the fact that the long shadows - which are very well visible all over the picture - make the whole scene - with its deeply complex Surface Details - even more suggestive.
The picture was taken from an altitude of approx. 915 miles (such as about 1472,5461 Km) from the Surface, with a resolution of roughly 450 feet (such as about 137,16 meters) per pixel, was taken on August 21, 2015.
