This list is not comprehensive, and does not list the highest places on the Moon. Clementine data show a range of about 18,100 meters from lowest to highest point on the Moon. The highest point, located on the far side of the Moon, is approximately 6500 meters higher than Mons Huygens (usually listed as the tallest mountain).
The far side of the Moon is the lunar hemisphere that always faces away from Earth, opposite to the near side, because of synchronous rotation in the Moon's orbit. Compared to the near side, the far side's terrain is rugged, with a multitude of impact craters and relatively few flat and dark lunar maria ("seas"), giving it an appearance closer ...
When a window is snapped to one side of the screen, Task View appears and the user is prompted to choose a second window to fill the unused side of the screen (called "Snap Assist"). [23] Windows' system icons were also changed. [25] Charms have been removed; their functionality in universal apps is accessed from an App commands menu on their ...
Even the 2024 solar eclipse won't change the face that we always see the same side of the moon, thanks to earth's gravity and the moon's rotation. Solar eclipse: Why we'll see the same side of the ...
This week, explore the mysterious far side of the moon, see the reconstructed face of a Neanderthal woman, decipher the story of Plato’s final night, and more. New mission could shed light on ...
The laptop has an unusual 3:2 display aspect ratio touch screen featuring what was at its debut the highest pixel density of any laptop, [130] a faster CPU than its predecessors in the Intel Core i5, and an exterior design described by Wired as "an austere rectangular block of aluminum with subtly rounded edges". [131]
The moon may be older than some scientists thought, according to a new study. It suggests that rock samples from the Apollo missions date back to a melting event, not to the moon's formation.
The near side of the Moon is the lunar hemisphere that always faces towards Earth, opposite to the far side. Only one side of the Moon is visible from Earth because the Moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that the Moon orbits the Earth—a situation known as tidal locking. The Moon is directly illuminated by the Sun, and the cyclically ...
