Digital Lunar Orbiter Photographic Atlas of the Moon

The "Digital Lunar Orbiter Photographic Atlas of the Moon" is on line-- a fast connection is advised.

The Lunar Orbiter Photographic Atlas of the Moon, by Bowker and Hughes (NASA SP-206), is considered the definitive reference manual to the global photographic coverage of the Moon. The images contained within the atlas are excellent for studying lunar morphology because they were obtained at low to moderate Sun angles. This digital archive consists of the complete set of 675 plates contained in Bowker and Hughes. Images in the archive have been enhanced to display the best photo quality possible. For accuracy and usability surface feature information has been improved and updated, and multiple search capabilities added to the database.

I've noted a couple of apparent oddities.

And some other lunar anomaly resources:

Dr. Ralph Barringer on the slow process of turning heresies into accepted lunar science.

David Jinks discusses some Ukert anomalies.

Some JJ Mercieca reports on a Hoagland lecture touching on some of the intriguing mathematical relationships involving Ukert.

Other lunar anomalies at the VGL site researched by Lan Fleming and others

I left the email addies alone, except to edit the .net in Firmouse's and .org in Tom's.

We don't want to use the normal type endings because someone may inadvertently use one that is real, and then we get emailed about it from some angry site host, and it really isn't fun, ya know?

Barefoot, as a sysop on another greenspun board I have become adept at fake addresses so that my message won't get thrown to the top of the thread. Do you dare criticise the non-respondability prowess of the creator of "googlyeyesfromstaring@thisscreentoolong.net," "gotcha@yousleazyli ttlefiends.com," "mrsstarlingsschoolforbadhtml@nowinthehotplace.org," "yourfaithfulamaneuensis@ocomeocomeamaneuensis.com" and "wufflesthealieninvader@wewillexterminateyou.com?"

You-- you SYSOP, you.... I am powerless before your HTML. :)

Wait, I mean I was giving you the OTHER look.

I mean, nice weather we're having, what do you think caused the dissolution of the Yourdon forum, Mr. Sysop, Sir?
