Fra Mauro Region

A new catch this interesting region reminded me of an old post dated August 15, 2013.

Mountain Fra Mauro ETA:

Selenográficas Coordinates: LAT: 2.3 º S, LON: 15.5 º W.

Photos on the Map: LAC-76.

Named after the geographer century. XV, known as Fra Mauro, born in Venice on unknown date and died in 1459, who was the author of a famous World map published in 1450.

Fra Mauro ETA is a mountain just studied. Positioned longitudinally oriented in North-South direction.

Fra Mauro ETA has maximum width of 11 km, length of approximately 30 km and height unknown. The mountain hosts near its midpoint a small crater Fra Mauro R (LAT: 2.2 ° S, LON: 15.6 ° W, diameter: 3.5 km).

The mountain Fra Mauro ETA is considered by many scientists as a "formation of radial sculpture Mare Imbrium Basin" because along points directly to the Mare Imbrium.

What does "sculpture radial Mare Imbrium Basin"?

Around the Mare Imbrium Basin regions are covered by ejecta from the impact that created the basin, extending for about 800 km out of the Basin.

Also encircling the Mare Imbrium Basin, there is a "pattern of grooves and radial sculpture" called "Imbrium radial sculpture", which have been interpreted as "grooves / striations and other formations radial" in relation to the Mare Imbrium, created on the surface of Moon by large projectiles ejected at low angles during the huge impact that created the Imbrium Basin, causing them to slip on the lunar surface for cutting and "sculpt" the radial formations.

These data were known until recently.

Currently using a tool that allows mapping altimetry profiles in Quick Map 3 strokes performed to determine the average height of Fra Mauro in the ETA 3 points shown in the photo annex link.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
