AS14-70-9671 - Apollo 14 - Apollo 14 Mission image - View of the lunar surface south of the Becvar Crater.

Description

Scope and content: The original database describes this as:

Description: View of the lunar surface south of the Becvar Crater. Images were taken on Revolution 26 of the Apollo 14 mission. Original film magazine was labeled Q,film type was 3400BW (Panatomic-X,Black and White),80mm lens with a sun elevation of 17 degrees. Approximate Photo Scale was 1:1,380,000. Principal Point Lattitude was 5.5S by Longitude 123.0E,with a vertical camera tilt.

Subject Terms: Apollo 14 Flight, Moon (Planet)

Categories: Lunar Observations

Original: Film - 70MM B&W

Interior_Exterior: Exterior

Ground_Orbit: Ground

Part of this photo was used in Figure 18-7 of the Apollo 14 Preliminary Science Report (SP-272), which has the following caption:

View of the bright-haloed crater ("the bright one") shown in figure 18-6 (80-mm lens was used). The low-Sun angle (approximately 17°) is favorable for studying the details of the crater wall and floor and the fine textures on the ejecta blanket.

The crater is now named Necho. The photo was also used in Figure 18-23 of the Report, which has the following caption:

Copernican-age crater (35-km diameter) forming one of the major ray systems on lunar far side. Point 1 indicates uppermost scarp of a series of slump terraces; point 2, a secondary crater loop; and point 3, radial-rim facies (north right of top center).

The text of the Report refers to Figure 18-23 as follows:

Far-side photographs show exceptional details on the rim, walls, and floor of the bright-rayed crater (latitude 5" S, longitude 123" E) that forms one of the two extensive ray systems in the Montes Sovietici briefly discussed in references 18-8 and 18-20. The crater is best shown under a relatively low illumination angle (17°) in figure 18-23. The crater has a rim-crest diameter of approximately 35 km, but the general outline is partly distorted by incipient major wall failure and slumping. Looped secondary crater chains, a braided radial facies, finely terraced walls, and major fracture patterns are clearly seen. The interior terraces within this crater generally trend to the northwest, as opposed to the usual concentric terraces seen in craters of similar age in this size range. In this case, it is evident that most of the postcrater gravitational filling occurred by the collapse of the partly shadowed wall.
