Pretty cool. =========================== LRO/LROC :: TARGET ACQUIRED =========================== Feature nickname: RibWorm Request date: 2021-01-01 We are glad to notify that your requested target has been imaged by LROC and it is now part of the public LROC PDS release. The...

Perfect! I can create myself a telescope and also prove that it doesn't take an engineer to do it. Yes, I will need an understanding as to what has to be understood. Anyone can do anything if they have the motivation. This is the stuff skills are made of.

I started playing around virtually to get an idea of size. Is the focal point measured from the face of the mirror surface? I would like to make this model as accurate as possible so it'd be more fun lol. I also want to fully understand what I'm doing and why.

I believe that Mars was the most recent planet Humans destroyed and needs much more time to recover before we do it again. It is my personal opinion that we should spend our resources fixing this planet before it's destroyed too, again. Our Earth is the last place to flourish in this solar system.

We will probably never know :confounded: I believe the imagery to be data from July of 2013. It appears to be covered over currently.

Sweet! I've been researching Dobsons. I like the concrete tube form idea. I have a cnc router too so I'm on for adventure :D Do you have anything on ebay? I'm going to attempt 10". Because a 5 gal. bucket would make a great dew shield. lol

It said ACCEPTED after I clicked submit target request. If they add data for that area will I get an email? Anyone have any experience with this?

I'm going to guess that this is either already known or I'm seeing something that others do not.

Since currently it's difficult to get a deal on a telescope I think I'm going to make one. I know it won't be easy but if it was done in 1600's then it shouldn't be too bad. I was looking at mirrors on ebay. Wow! but out of budget...

I would think that if an object broke apart then to leave marks that close to each other, the distance it broke wouldn't be too far from where it impacted.

I'd call them authentic since I provided links to the source data at LROC. All the info I find on these has 3rd grade level description. While all these causes seem reasonable and likely, what strikes me is .. 1. They are not in our view from earth. 2. Close to same size impact. 3. Alignment...

Hmm no kidding :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crater_chain

Pretty strange. It doesn't show up with some filters. But it looks strange anyway lol. What do you guys think?

Hi guys. I was checking out the LROC Lunar map. It appears to me that 99% of the impact craters seem to be random. They appear to be some object hurling through space and the moon randomly got in the way. On the back side, there seems to be parallel streaks of craters. They are pretty close to...

I sure hope somebody with a Celestron NexStar 8SE happens to get some images. That's the telescope I am getting :P Too bad they're sold out :(
