file AS15-97-13207: Duel Impact Craters in Rupes Cauchy

8 years 8 months ago - 8 years 8 months ago #4314 by Todd
I suppose this could've been a random event but I have always found this Apollo 15 Orbital hasselblad of Rupes Cauchy (AS15-97-13206) to be something of an impact mystery. Rupes Cauchy is a 200 km long fault scarp in northeastern Mare Tranquillitatis. The impact craters appear in alignment with the escarpment bottom. The images below were processed from the NASA/JSC/Arizona State University raw tif.

Thanks for posting these. I had never seen them before. I am still quite the noob when it comes to many surface features.

In any case: interesting. I am not sure what to make of these but they look like they might NOT be natural.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel.   They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life.   I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at.  You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do!  I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them.  SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest.  I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
