AS14-70-9783 - Apollo 14 - Apollo 14 Mission image - View of the lunar surface approaching the Descartes Landing Site.

Description

Scope and content: The original database describes this as:

Description: View of the lunar surface approaching the Descartes Landing Site. 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 60 degrees. Approximate Photo Scale was 1:1,380,000. Principal Point Lattitude was 9.0S by Longitude 17.0E,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

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

Partly buried rim, wall, and floor of Zöllner DC Crater (diameter approximately 5 km).

The text of the Report refers to the figure as follows:

Of interest in terms of surface processes is the young Zöllner DC Crater (fig. 18-18). The Zöllner DC Crater, approximately 5 km in diameter, is superposed on complex terrain materials in the Descartes region. The southeast part of the rim, wall, and floor have been buried by a postcrater deposit that appears to originate near the crestline of a far more ancient and larger crater that lies immediately to the northeast (Zöllner D). The material apparently is mass-wasted debris that accumulated shortly after the crater formed. Numerous examples of partial crater destruction on sloping surfaces have been seen in previous orbital photographs. The infilling always takes place from the higher ground, and this phenomenon has been used by a number of authors to explain the relative paucity of craters in the more rugged parts of the terrain. This photograph provides a more dramatic example of crater filling than many previously available photographs.

Note that the name "Zöllner DC" is not officially recognized by the IAU. The nearby Zöllner D crater is.
