JAXA "KAGUYA"(SELENE), the big flop and still nothing Apollo
"KAGUYA"(SELENE) encounters our physically dark and extremely dusty
moon at an angle of just 1 degree, and there’s no bounce, skip or hardly if any gouge, perhaps because the surface of this impact site was simply way too soft, as in tens of meters deep kind of crystal dry and electrostatic charged carbonado and basalt dust that’s saturated in all kinds of local minerals (including sodium) plus countless meteorite deposits. Lots of terrific private astronomy equipment had to have been pointed at the carefully specified impact site, and with more than enough resolution and absolutely terrific dynamic range, not to mention the ten fold better stuff at the disposal of NASA, or the hundred fold better yet from team KECK, or for that matter the greatly improved resolution, dynamic range and wide color/hue spectrum capability from Hubble. Of course at least the HDTV and its full color spectrum via KAGUYA should have functioned all the way up to a fraction of a second or a couple frames prior to impact. And what about all of those better TC (terrain camera) images for the past 4 months while orbiting at 50 km, of resolution near 5 meters and exceptional dynamic range? Thus far we’ve got zip/nada/zilch to look at. Way to go JAXA, ISAS, NASA and other guys. Here’s an example of what a private astronomer can accomplish. http://www.avertedimagination.com/moon_1.htm http://www.avertedimagination.com/latest_1.htm http://www.avertedimagination.com/im...oon100407.html http://djsenn.podbean.com/wp-content...on_color_1.jpg NASA color/hue over-saturated image: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/0602...chedler_35.jpg Just imagine what our NASA at 10 fold better can do, and KECK at least 100 fold better, as well as each of these in full/extended color saturation so that mineral elements and any impact created vapors can be deductively extrapolated. Not to mention the JAXA/Selene X-Ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRS) and Gamma ray spectrometer (GRS). I’m told that Japan has nifty telescopes too, but apparently theirs are only braille scopes that at best can only detect monochrome. And what about the somewhat secretive ISRO Chandrayaan-1 mission that’s entirely run by 5th graders that can’t quite figure out how the internet works? ~ Brad Guth Brad_Guth Brad.Guth BradGuth BG / “Guth Usenet” |
