Episode 14: Mare Crisium

The nearly full Moon has Chris thinking about Mare Crisium, our neighbour's Sea of Crises. We cover why it was nearly named after Britain, how high resolution images solved a mystery created by a Soviet probe, and nearly find a link to Star Trek. A guide to Mare Crisium is here: https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/astrophotography/moon/mare-crisium/ Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter images of Luna 24 (which landed in the 70s, not the 60s or 80s as Chris says in the podcast) here: https://www.planetary.org/space-images/lroc-view-of-luna-24-on-the-moon And of the Apollo landing sites here: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/news/apollo-sites.html High resolution images of wrinkle ridges are here: https://moon.nasa.gov/resources/485/wrinkle-ridge-in-mare-crisium/
