$15.00 Shipping Location: Brooklyn, United States 1965 USGS Geologic Map of the Moon: Timocharis Region WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS- NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: Geologic Map of the Timocharis Region ... moreof the Moon by M. H. Carr. Description: A stunning full color geologic map of the Timorcharis Region of the Moon by the U.S. Geological Survey. Timocharis is a prominent lunar impact crater located on the Mare Imbrium. The lack of prominent rays. Or ejecta, from the original hypervelocity impact, puts the age of this crater at about a billion years or more. The crater was named after Timocharis of Alexandria(ca. 320 BC– 260 BC) a Greek astronomer and philosopher, contemporary of Euclid, and co-creator of the first star catalogue in the Western world. It is believed that most of the moon’s craters were formed approximately 3.9 billion years ago, during a period of intense bombardment in the Inner Solar System. The cratering rate fluctuates as collisions in the asteroid belt send fragment clusters into the Inner Solar System. This map might show hypervelocity impact craters caused by the same cluster of asteroids that, 65 million years ago, caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. As humans wouldn't land on the moon until 1969, how were we able to map its geology? The map’s extraordinarily detailed metadata explains that the cartographers used photos, and observations from optical and radio telescopes, with relief created by measuring shadows, combined with an assumed sun angle and an assumed base elevation. The geology was arrived at from observing differences in, and layering of, topographical forms, and in varying albedo(amount of reflected sunlight) both of which indicate different underlying materials formed under different processes. The map includes a sectional view, detailed‘metadata’ explaining the mapmaking methodologies and symbols employed, and an index map showing the area’s location on the Moon. This map series represents a breath-taking leap forward not only in selenography(the study of the moon) begun in the late 1400s, but also in the recor

H. Carr. Description: A stunning full color geologic map of the Moon’s Mare Serenitatis. Or‘Sea of Serenity’ better known to us as the‘right eye’ of the Man in the Moon. The map's ghostly purple, punctuated by small, regular impact craters lends the map an eerily alien, worldly silence. Includes a sectional view of the mare from Montes Haemus to Posidonius(from the side) detailed text on the formation of the area's geology, extremely detailed‘metadata’ explanating the mapmaking methodologies and symbols employed, and an index map showing the area’s location on the Moon. This map represents a breath-taking leap forward not only in selenography(the study of the moon) begun in the late 1400s, but also in the record of humankind's fearless exploration of the world(s) around and beyond us. The Mare Serenitatis is a lunar mare, or large, dark basaltic plain, formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. It is bordered by Mare Imbrium, Mare Tranquillitatis, and Mare Vaporum. These dark spots were dubbed maria, or‘seas’ by early astronomers who mistook them for actual seas. These iron-rich plains are less reflective than the‘highlands’ and thus appear dark to the naked eye. Mare Serenitatis is not only one of the lunar maria but also a mascon, or area of massive gravitational attraction. Both Luna 21 and Apollo 17 landed near the Mare Serenitatis. It is believed that most of the moon’s craters were formed approximately 3.9 billion years ago, during a period of intense bombardment in the Inner Solar System. The cratering rate fluctuates as collisions in the asteroid belt send fragment clusters into the Inner Solar System.

H. Marshall. Description: A stunning full color 1963 Geologic Map of the Letronne Region of the Moon by the U.S. Geological Survey. Letronne is a lava-flooded remnant of a lunar crater which forms a bay along the southwestern shore of the Oceanus Procellarum. Or Ocean of Storms, as the northern part of its rim is completely missing. The map shows the large crater Gassendi, the flooded crater Billy, and the smaller crater Flamsteed. A wrinkle ridge traverses the floor from north to south, and further wrinkles outline a portion of the missing rim. This region is named after the French archaeologist, Jean Antoine Letronne(1787-1848 A.D. who translated important works from ancient Egypt. It is believed that most of the moon’s craters were formed approximately 3.9 billion years ago, during a period of intense bombardment in the Inner Solar System. The cratering rate fluctuates as collisions in the asteroid belt send fragment clusters into the Inner Solar System.

E. Eggleton. Description: A full color Geologic Map of the Riphaeus Mountains Region of the Moon by the U.S. Geological Survey. As fascinating for its sectional view as for its map. The Riphaeus Mountains, aka Montes Riphaeus, lie along the Mare Cognitum, or'sea that is known, so named for the number of space probes that had landed there- Luna 5, Ranger 7, Surveyor 3, Apollo 12) This Mare lies on the Oceanus Procellarum, or'Ocean of Storms. It includes a number of slender ridge lines with valleys flooded by intruding flows of lava. This lunar mountain range was named after the Riphean Mountains, described by authors of classical antiquity(Aristotle, Hippocrates, and Ptolemy, among others) as snow covered, but whose location seemed to vary from author to author. They may have been the Alps or the Urals. It is believed that most of the moon’s craters were formed approximately 3.9 billion years ago, during a period of intense bombardment in the Inner Solar System. The cratering rate fluctuates as collisions in the asteroid belt send fragment clusters into the Inner Solar System.

J. Moore. Description: This is the U.S. Geological Survey’s stunning full color geologic map of the Moon’s fascinating and mysterious Aristarchus region. Deep in the dark expanse of the Ocean of Storms(Oceanus Procellarum' Sits Aristarchus Plateau, pocked by Aristarchus Crater, the brightest large formation on the moon, visible to the naked eye on the northwest(or upper left) of the Moon's near side. This mysterious region is the site of more‘transient lunar phenomena’ than any other on the Moon. Transient lunar phenomena are temporary obscurations, explosions, or color changes on the surface. And then there was the event of 1971. Apollo 15 was passing 110 kilometers above the plateau, when Aristarchus emited a burst of radioactive Radon-222 alpha particles. Selenologists say this was either a coincidental diffusion of gas to the surface, or a discrete explosion. An explosion leaves those with a taste in science fiction(which so often becomes science fact) to wonder: was something under the surface of the Moon attempting to communicate? Or destroy? Fittingly, this map's rich, veiny colors suggest a fleshy, alien landscape. The map includes two sectional views(from the side) of the area, detailed‘metadata’ explaining the mapmaking methodologies and symbols employed, and an index map showing the area’s location on the Moon. Aristarchus was named after the Greek astronomer Aristarchus of Samos(310-c.230 BC) creator of the first known helio-centric model of the solar system, placing the Sun, not the earth, at the center of the solar system. The crater was so named by the Italian map maker Giovanni Riccioli in his 1651, The New Algamest, in which he named craters after famous astronomers and philosophers. The name became an international standard when it was adopted by the IAU(International Astronomical Union) in 1935. It is believed

I have found a Juliette(Nash) Page who, according information that I believe is from ancestry.com, was born July 2, 1820. educated in the seminary at Hamilton, New York, and in the seminary at Norwalk, Ohio. She was highly educated and wrote regularly for the magazines. Also wrote considerable poetry. ... moreShe was married in 1847 to Charles W.
