Hi Bruce, I also agree with you and Ted about the dust and debris hypothesis about the star's misinterpretation and it is my mistake. I don't agree in your guess of a 100 miles arc longitude because the bay named SINUS MEDII closer to the 'print's light' measures 350x350Km/212x212Miles. The light spot in the 'print' measures about 50x50Km/30X30Miles almost the same size of PALLAS crater. (info bellow SINUS MEDII) See SINUS MEDII picture: http://www.alcione.org/1953_FLARE/impact05.jpg See PALLAS crater and craterlets: http://www.alcione.org/1953_FLARE/pallas1.jpg ( this image is not very clear but I'll fix it tomorrow) PROVISIONAL PAGE WITH IMAGES AND DATA (huge size) http://www.alcione.org/1953_FLARE/ The size of the suspected meteor's that hit the Moon was approximately 20 meters (65.6 feet) across as Dr. Bonnie J. Buratti asserted I posted two hours ago that the light of the 1953 image from Dr. Stuart is located between the following craterlet points south of PALLAS crater and north west of BRUCE's crater. It's not a joke. :) PALLAS crater Position: Longitude: 1.6=B0 West Latitude: 5.5=B0 North PALLAS H craterlet Position: Longitude: 1.5 =B0 West Latitude: 04.60 =B0 North PALLAS B craterlet Position: Longitude: 2.6 =B0 West Latitude: 04.20 =B0 North PALLAS C craterlet Position: Longitude: 1.1 =B0 West Latitude: 04.50 =B0 North PALLAS E craterlet Position: Longitude: 1.4 =B0 West Latitude: 04.00 =B0 North PALLAS F craterlet Position: Longitude: 1.3 =B0 West Latitude: 03.40 =B0 North PALLAS X craterlet Position: Longitude: 3.2 =B0 West Latitude: 05.20 =B0 North BRUCE crater Position: Longitude: 0.4=B0 East Latitude: 1.1=B0 North SINUS MEDII Type: Bay Geological period: Imbrian (From -3.85 billions years to -3.2 billions years) ? Size: Dimension: 350x350Km / 212x212Mi Height: 0m / 0ft Height/Wide ratio: 0 Description: Small sea situated to the center of the visible face. 52 000 km2. Broadsided to the South by Rima Oppolzer and to the East by Rimae Triesnecker. Observation: Interest : Pretty interesting formation Observation period: First Quarter or 6 days after Full Moon Minimal Instrument: 10x binoculars Position: Longitude: 0.0=B0 East Latitude: 0.0=B0 North Quadrant: North-East Area: Moon disk center ------------------------------------------------------- PALLAS crater Type: Crater Geological period: Nectarian (From -3.92 billions years to -3.85 billions years) Size: Dimension: 50x50Km / 30x30Mi Height: 1260m / 3800ft Height/Wide ratio: 0.0252 Description: Damaged circular formation. Forms an interesting couple with Murchison. Steep slopes supporting Bode to the North-West Pallas B & E to the South and crushed by Murchison to the East. Walls supporting the craterlet Pallas A to the North-West and Pallas H to the South. Flat floor filled with lava in communication to the North-East with that of Murchison. Central mountain. Hills wrinkle ridges and craterlets. Observation: Interest : Very interesting formation Observation period: First Quarter or 6 days after Full Moon Minimal Instrument: 50 mm refractor Position: Longitude: 1.6=B0 West Latitude: 5.5=B0 North Quadrant: North-East Area: Moon disk center --------------------------------------------------------------- I used a nice program 'Virtual Moon Data' that you can download and is FREE at: http://astrosurf.com/avl/prog/avlsetup.exe Best regards, Capt.
