Lunar 100 virtual moon atlas11/1/2023 From its edge, it leads down 1000 meters (3,300 feet) into the depths! An enormous trench with a width of 15 km (9 miles) works its way through the entire range, much like a Grand Canyon. Especially excellent to observe is the lunar valley – Vallis Alpes. With 100 magnification, you can survey the Alps with high detail. You can find it in the middle of the mountain range. Mont Blanc is at 3,500 meters (11,500 feet) is the highest peak in the Lunar Alps. The Lunar Alps still await the first summit by humans. However, you will find no cabins on these mountains. The numerous hills and peaks reach a height of up to 2,500 meters (8,200 feet). They stretch over a distance of 300 km (186 miles) and border northeast of the Mare Imbrium. In its current phase, these mountains are located close to the Terminator in the north. The Alps aren’t only to be found on Earth, but rather on the Moon. This weekend, there are yet a few special tidbits, which we have picked out. Even those with little, beginner telescopes from 60mm diameter, can view the Moon in an amazing detail. The Moon’s short distance to Earth at 384,000 km (238,000 miles) and diameter of 0.5° ensures such a great sight. ![]() No other celestial object can be seen in such great detail with amateur telescopes. If you look at the Moon with a telescope, you will be rewarded with a fantastic vista of thousands of craters. The brightest objects of the night sky will then be unified. A delicacy for the naked eye will be the close encounter between Jupiter and the Moon, because they will appear at a distance of only 5 degrees from one another. The best view, however, will be around 10 PM, at which time it will be pretty dark. The Encounter between the Moon and JupiterĪlready at dusk, the Moon will be visible high in the southern sky. There are regions, which belong in the must see category this weekend. The Moon craters will be illuminated from the side and offers observers an excellent contrast, especially along the day-light line, the Terminator. Now our only natural satellite is excellent to observe. This weekend, the Moon will be in it’s first quarter – meaning we will have a waxing Moon. Let’s then speak of the Moon, just as the science fiction author Jules Verne. “But I must say I have heard it spoken of.” (From Jules Verne’s novel All Around the Moon). ![]() “No, sir,” replied the pupil, still more ironically. Elizabeth first got interested in space after watching the movie Apollo 13 in 1996, and still wants to be an astronaut someday.“Have you ever seen the Moon,” asked a professor, ironically, of one of his pupils. Elizabeth is also a post-secondary instructor in communications and science at several institutions since 2015 her experience includes developing and teaching an astronomy course at Canada's Algonquin College (with Indigenous content as well) to more than 1,000 students since 2020. in Space Studies from the University of North Dakota, a Bachelor of Journalism from Canada's Carleton University and a Bachelor of History from Canada's Athabasca University. Her latest book, " Why Am I Taller?", is co-written with astronaut Dave Williams. Elizabeth's reporting includes multiple exclusives with the White House and Office of the Vice-President of the United States, an exclusive conversation with aspiring space tourist (and NSYNC bassist) Lance Bass, speaking several times with the International Space Station, witnessing five human spaceflight launches on two continents, flying parabolic, working inside a spacesuit, and participating in a simulated Mars mission. She was contributing writer for for 10 years before joining full-time.
