In this view I have projected the panorama into a semicircle with north at the top (the process exaggerates horizon relief). I also massaged the scene a little pit to make visible the 50 m subdued crater whose rim the spacecraft landed on. Otherwise it is very difficult to discern.

The same panorama is projected to make the foreground more map-like. The process makes horizon features look higher than they really are, which can help subtle features show up more clearly. The lander touched down on the southern rim of a 50 m diameter subdued crater which is difficult to see, so in this view I have exaggerated its appearance a bit.

We landed! Let's take a look around the Chang'e 6 landing site. The sample return landers only took half a panorama, alas. Here:

are some images including their panorama (second image). My version has a straightened horizon (it's a cylindrical projection). Below is a closeup of hills on the horizon, the rim of Chaffee crater. I will eventually fill the bit at the top where the flag is to maximize the surface view.

A half-panorama from Chang'e 6 showing the view from west (at left) to north (middle) to east (right edge). I intended to fill a gap at top right where the flag is, but have not done it yet. Hills of a distant crater rim (Chaffee crater) are indicated in the closeup view.

Jim Lovell, #Apollo XIII mission commander passed away this week aged 97. #ApolloXII would have been the third #moon landing until an on-board explosion & fight for survival. They returned to earth on April 17, 1970: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_1

Here is a #medallion commemorating the mission (I don't know anything else about this piece, so happy for any additional information).

Memory of Montegna, Konstantin Bogaevsky

Just a little bit of color that I think stands out since most of the image is grey and brown..

Love the moon and the clouds, seems monumental, imposing, and the water is glassy, in fact I like this because it seems like a dead place, no sign of life except the little bit of green. No trees, no people, no boats, no birds. This is a city that the cursed must wander alone for eternity, surviving on bone dust mixed with tears 🤣 (sorry)

we see a city or town on the water's edge, with the moon shining brightly through towering clouds in the sky. The buildings are simple and ancient looking. the water is totally flat, no waves or wind breaking up the surface. On the shore are only buildings and hills, there are no signs of life, no lights, it could be empty, a ghost town.

With the passing of Jim Lovell, I'd like to take this opportunity to recommend a podcast.

The BBC's "13 Minutes" podcast is now in its third season. (It's free!)
S1 Apollo 11
S2 Apollo 13
S3 The Shuttle

Music by Hans Zimmer.
Highly recommended!

"Apollo 13 moon mission leader James Lovell dies at 97" by @AssociatedPress - Apollo 8 astronaut and Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell died at age 97. He spoke the words, "Houston, we've had a problem here", often misquoted as "Houston, we have a problem", actually from the 1995 "Apollo 13" movie. Tom Hanks played Lovell in the movie, though he had a cameo appearance. He never got to walk on the #Moon but still played a part in its exploration. apnews.com/article/james-lovel #NASA #Apollo #space #history

AP News · Astronaut James Lovell, Apollo 13 commander, dies at 97Astronaut James Lovell, who was commander of the 1970 Apollo 13 mission that managed to get back to earth safely after an oxygen tank explosion, has died. He was 97. NASA confirmed his death in a statement Friday. Lovell was also part of the Apollo 8 flight that became the first to circle the moon and was one of NASA’s most traveled astronauts through its early years, going into space four times. Lovell was supposed to be the fifth man to walk on the moon in 1970. But Apollo 13’s service module, carrying Lovell and two others, experienced an oxygen tank explosion. The famous statement “Houston, we have a problem” was attributed to Lovell in the film “Apollo 13.”

Und wo wir grad bei #Apps sind... Kennt wer 'ne App: #OpenSource mit #Widget am besten, welche die aktuelle #Mondphase zeigt?
Die hier hat #FDroid aber die wird mir als inkompatibel gezeigt (außerdem hat die vom Alter wohl noch #Nostradamus selbst gecodet...)

"Whatever nation or entity gets there first will likely establish what the directive calls a 'keep-out zone' for safety and security. These zones, which may cover a few square miles, would prevent competitors from entering the same space. Such activities must cohere with guidelines set by the #OuterSpaceTreaty, which says ... that the exploration and use of outer space shall be carried out for the benefit 'of all mankind.'"
