South Ray Crater by sjrankin Edited Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter image of South Ray Crater, near where Apollo 16 set down on the Moon. Image source: lroc.sese.asu.edu/posts/1001 Original caption: Overhead view of South Ray crater, the most prominent feature at the Apollo 16 Descartes landing site in the central lunar highlands. Astronaut John Young landed Lunar Module Orion north of the crater on 21 April 1972 (UTC). Image is a little less than one kilometer wide and is centered at 9.1493°S, 15.3827°E. Image number M1149402618LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Secondary original caption: Astronaut John Watts Young, widely admired veteran of Gemini, Apollo, and Space Shuttle missions, died on 5 January 2018, at age 87. His NASA career spanned 42 years - from his selection as a member of NASA's second astronaut group in 1962 until his retirement in 2004 - and included six space missions between 1965 and 1983, four of which he commanded. Two of Young's missions took him beyond low-Earth orbit to the Moon. For Apollo 10 (18-26 May 1969), which tested Apollo spacecraft in lunar orbit, Young was Command Module Pilot. For Apollo 16 (16-27 April 1972), the next-to-last U.S. lunar landing mission, Young was Commander. The vintage NASA video below reviews the Apollo 16 mission. Apollo 16 was the only one of the six Apollo landing missions to explore a site entirely within the heavily cratered lunar highlands. Most of the light-colored areas visible on the full Moon are part of the highlands. The site was named for the Descartes Formation, which was in turn named for the nearby crater Descartes. Geologists who examined photos taken by robotic Lunar Orbiter spacecraft believed that they saw signs of lunar volcanism at Descartes. Places that seemed to show that the Moon had been volcanically active were given a high priority when scientists and engineers gathered together to select Apollo landing sites. All of the Apollo astronauts received some geologic training. After NASA selected astronauts for a lunar landing crew, their geologic training shifted into overdrive and was tailored to their landing site. Young performed geologic field work on the Moon alongside Lunar Module Pilot Charles Duke. Through field trips to places like the Mono volcanic craters in California, Young and Duke became enthusiastic rockhounds. One of Young's favorite features at Descartes was South Ray crater, a 700-meter-wide young impact crater with "rays" of dark impact melt and bright ejecta. South Ray was located a little more than five kilometers south of Lunar Module Orion's landing spot (9.9734°S, 12.5011°E). About two hours after piloting Orion to a perfect landing, Young described the view out its twin triangular windows. "South Ray is a doggone interesting crater," he told Mission Control. "I wish we could get to it. The boulders on the west rim of it are just thick and white as they can be." Young was interested in South Ray because he knew that the white boulders on its rim had originated deep beneath the surface, so they were likely to be among the oldest rocks exposed at the Descartes site. Radar beamed toward the site from Earth had determined, however, that big boulders surrounded South Ray. Young and Duke drove a jeep-like Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) to get around their landing site, and planners were sure it would get stuck if they tried to reach the crater rim. Young and Duke managed to sample South Ray from a distance by picking up rocks on the rays that extended northward from the crater. The rocks were particularly thick at a place called Survey Ridge. They also climbed Stone Mountain, where they found more material blasted from South Ray. During their last geologic traverse, they explored and sampled the rim of 950-meter-wide North Ray crater (8.4912°S, 15.2848°E), located 4.4 kilometers north of Orion. As it turned out, Descartes is not a volcanic site; it is, instead, made up mostly of ejecta from the giant impact that blasted out the Imbrium basin about 3.8 billion years ago. Many lunar scientists believe that, by the time the Imbrium ejecta reached Descartes, it probably flowed over the surface, laying down surface textures resembling volcanic flows. Such giant debris flows are not clearly understood; they remain a tantalizing lunar mystery to be solved by future explorers. The rocks Young and Duke returned to Earth were breccias - rocks made up of other rocks fragmented and melted by impacts, then mixed up and stuck together. Some scientists in fact believed before Apollo 16 that the site was made up of breccias, but the volcanic interpretation had won out during landing site selection meetings. Finding breccias instead of the hoped-for volcanic rocks did not make Apollo 16 a failure; in fact, by providing "ground truth" data that forced a reinterpretation of the Descartes Formation, the mission enabled a better understanding of the Moon as a whole. Lunar geologists got another surprise: the area around South Ray was not as rocky as expected, a fact since confirmed using LRO instruments. It was only slightly rockier than North Ray crater. Young and Duke might have reached the rim of South Ray and sampled the white rocks directly, just as Young desired. Explore the full resolution overhead view of South Ray. https://flic.kr/p/267om9o

Monument Valley, variant by sjrankin Edited Landsat 8 image of Monument Valley in the U.S. West. Color/processing variant. Image source: earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=92242 Original caption: Arguably one of the most photographed places on Earth, Monument Valley is the quintessential picture of the American West. The valley covers about 92,000 acres along the border of Arizona and Utah. You may have seen this iconic landscape in several John Wayne movies as the Hollywood star rode a horse through these sandy plains. You can travel for miles on horseback amid towering sandstone pillars that are peppered throughout this Navajo Tribal Park. Between the red rock formations and the sandstone towers, the valley contains evidence of eons of nature’s constructive and destructive power. Formed during the Permian period, this patch of land once formed part of a seafloor where sediments and sandstone piled up in layers for millions of years. Tectonic forces raised the slab above the water line and created a plateau. Then water and wind chipped away at the sedimentary rock and removed the softer materials, eventually giving us the towering structures that we see today. The natural-color composite image at the top of this page gives a sense of the topography of the valley. The image was made from data acquired by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 from May 8, 2018, and from a digital elevation model (the National Elevation Dataset of the U.S. Geological Survey). The second image was captured by OLI on Landsat 8 on November 14, 2016. The shadows in this straight–down (nadir) satellite view give some sense of the elevation differences between the mesas and buttes that extend 400 to 1,000 feet above the valley floor. The floor is sand and siltstone and appears red due to the presence of iron oxides, while manganese oxide makes some rocks appear blue–gray. Researchers dubbed a similar landscape on Mars as “Monument Valley” because of the similarities to this Navajo park. The first known human inhabitants of the area were the Anasazi Indians, who settled here in 1200 B.C.E. and created pictographs that are still visible today. The valley and monument area is now home to the Navajo Nation, one of the largest American Indian tribes. Called “Tsé Bii’ Ndzisgaii” (“Valley of the Rocks”) by the Navajo, Monument Valley is not technically a national park. It is managed by the Navajo Parks & Recreation Department. Tourists can travel along U.S. Route 163, the only road that passes through the park, or venture off the path on horseback with a Navajo guide.
