LRO Surface roughness (Surface roughness according to Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter datas) Hevelius / 1647 (Version : N & B & color) These maps, sure, only show the visible face and the formations positions are sometimes far from the actual one. You can know compare these pioneering works with today datas.
We have formatted for VMA the best digitized versions of old lunar maps in the public domain. We have built a new texture comparable to the LOPAM texture yet available, but with an almost vertical lighting. This texure is linked to the new IAU lunar nomeclature.Ĭhines authorities have released on 2012 february a global lunar map with a 60 m resolution per pixel. We are waiting a new more precise release in the following monthes.
We propose you a new texture corresponding to the best released datas of Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter probe. THE NEW "LRO / Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter" HIGH RESOLUTION TEXTURE : New altazimutal and "Dobson" telescopes dedicated lunar globe orientation New CCD cameras field visualization on the map
CHINA MOON ATLAS UPGRADE
Upgrade of the terminator dynamic shadows with LRO datas So, if your computer has a WiFi access during your observing sessions, you will be able to consult these sites directly from VMA while observing. The new "WEBLUN" © module manages a quick access to these sites. We have realized a new special database about the main Web sites dedicated to Moon exploration and lunar surveys.
CHINA MOON ATLAS PRO
We will now present you all the news of this version that spread us in the new 10 years coming :īecause of the increasing number of modules in VMA Pro version, VMA is launched now from a "Command Center" that gives you a direct access to each module and to the associated documentations. We hope that all this new work will make your lunar observing sessions still more interesting.Īnd we can't not forget to dedicate this new version to Neil Armstrong whose "small step and giant leap" have conducted many of us to become amateur astronomers and specially lunar observers.
CHINA MOON ATLAS UPDATE
We have also update and increase the databases. It's now done and we also fill this gap period in our production to add new modules and functionalities. Since December 2009, release date of the Pro version 5, we were waiting the datas sent by the recent lunar probes US LRO and chinese Chang'e 2 so that we could format them for use in VMA. Today, for its 10th anniversary, we are happy to present you the new Pro 6 version, the most complete computerized lunar atlas. In 2002 we published the first version of the VMA. It’s surely worked the terraces, combined with the flowers, gorges, and meadows that surround them, make Blue Moon Valley one of the most scenic spots in all of China.We are happy to announce you that we have just released the new Virtual Moon Atlas "10th anniversary / Pro 6" version ! While the terraces in Blue Moon Valley are mostly natural, the Chinese government has done several artificial interventions to make them look even more spectacular. In actuality, the river, which originates from the melting snow of the Himalayas above, gets its turquoise tint from copper ions in the water. Local legends of the Nakhi people claim the water in Blue Moon Valley gets its blue pigmentation from the raft that the gods took to the valley.
Like the Pamukkale Water Terraces in Turkey, the river flows down the flat circular terraces like giant steps on a staircase or cakes stacked upon one another. As the water runs over these flat platforms, it forms dozens of miniature whitewater waterfalls, cascading down the mountain valley. Nestled in the towering mountains of southern China, an impossibly turquoise river passes over a beautiful set of terraces.
