Domes Luther and Hall
Two lunar domes, located near the craters Luther and Hall (which we termed Luth1 and Hall1), have been imaged and studied.
The morphometric characteristics of these domes have been examined by making use of a combined photoclinometry and shape from shading approach and Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) WAC image, including LOLA DEM data set. A full spectral analysis based on Chandrayaan-1 Moon Mineralogy Mapper is in progress.
The Lunar Domes section encourages more high-resolution imagery of this wide lunar region so that we can have more data to identify further lunar domes not characterized in the morphometric and spectral properties yet.
