Create a sketch/map of the visible lunar surface: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
1 |
Observe a Full Moon and sketch a large-scale (prominent
features) |
L-1 |
|
|
|
|
|
2 |
map depicting the nearside; disk of visible surface should
be drawn at |
L-1 |
|
|
|
|
|
3 |
least 5-inches in diameter. Sketch itself should be created
only by |
L-1 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
observing the Moon, but maps or guidebooks may be used
when |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labeling sketched features.
Label all maria, prominent craters, and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
major rays by the crater name they originated from. |
