Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project: Boulder Trails On The Moon
http://nasawatch.com/images/LOII_092H1.boulder.s.jpg
Keith’s note: This image was taken on 21 November 1996 by Lunar Orbiter II at an altitude of 44 miles. The image is taken from frame 92, Framelet 445, and has resolution is 0.98 meters/pixel. As such the large boulder that has left a trail is around 6-7 meters in diameter.
The image on the left shows the highest resolution image available online at LPI. On the right is the raw unproceesed image we retrieved this afternoon. While the large boulder’s trail is seen in both images, the details of that trail and the rest of the boulder field are much sharper in our newly retrieved image.
