GRAIL's Gravity Map of the Moon
This image shows the variations in the lunar gravity field as measured by NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) during the primary mapping mission from March to May 2012. Very precise microwave measurements between two spacecraft, named Ebb and Flow, were used to map gravity with high precision and high spatial resolution. The field shown resolves blocks on the surface of about 12 miles (20 kilometers) and measurements are three to five orders of magnitude improved over previous data. Red corresponds to mass excesses and blue corresponds to mass deficiencies. The map shows more small-scale detail on the far side of the moon compared to the nearside because the far side has many more small craters.

Caption This ! :: "Face" -- PART One

Face
by Pat Darnell

Why is it so hard to forget the Face of one's enemy? Eh? Is it correction of our spirit as we ponder menaces that pervade our existence? Could be. Does one feel stalked and tracked down in every turn of the screw; surely peace will endure, but remember, our patch of face is enemy to others we will never know.

Otherwise, how can we explain our enemies. Do we say: "Don't shoot till you see the yellow of their eyes?"

One's face is his life: the face of newborn, face of his identity, face of his game, then the face of his senility, and in the end it is his face of death.

In a universe far far away that parallels one's own home, one's enemy, it turns out, was no enemy at all.

We at MooPig like to think that the FACE is a miracle. It is a map of one's sensors, and a target of all that is human. Therefore, we meditate on vastness of ruminative FACE.
