The Moon - first image from the ACE 24-inch telescope
The Moon, the northeaster section to be precise. The large crater like structure in the image is the Mare Crisium (“Sea of Crises”), a 68000 square miles lunar Maria, which are large basalt plains created by large collisions early during the Moon’s formation. What’s interesting about this picture is that it is the first (semi-)picture-of-the-week to be taken by Stocker AstroScience Center’s new ACE 24 inch Telescope. This picture was taken on November 24th, 2014 by Dr. James Webb and combined and unsharp masked by James Webb and Bobby Martinez.
