Abstract
The figures shown in this chapter are 100 % computer visualizations and consequently have been kept separate from the digitally augmented plates in the previous chapter. The simulations are illustrated in a double-page spread format, with the left page being sunrise and the right side sunset. In all these figures, north will be towards the top, east to the left, and west to the right – in other words an SCT type of image. Image scales may vary, but you can compare these with the craters in the plates in the previous chapter. The title numbering system corresponds to the map sheet numbers from last chapter. In all cases the simulated images are each separated 3° apart in terms of their selenographic colongitude, or approximately 6 h difference in Earth time. The sub-solar point has been kept fixed at 0° latitude, and the libration has been set to be on the lunar equator on a meridian line of 0° latitude (Fig. 4.1).
