Identifying Moon Craters
- Please examine the webpage link and study the types of craters and the complexities of the simple looking features on the Face of the Moon.
- Participants should post their favourite crater and name it. Within the crater they need to count the pixels to measure the distance across the crater using the software JS9-4L.
- Participants need to take a picture of a location present on the Earth which they think shall fit inside the crater to near perfection. With the image as a .jpeg, .fits etc. (ie, acceptable format by NASA), open the same in JS9-4L, equate the pixel size of the image of the location with that of the crater. Superimpose the two images with location/structure in the foreground and the crater in the background.
