Studying “Luna Incognita”: The Region Near the South Pole
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
A region of approximately 270 000 km2 near the south pole of the Moon has not been mapped by spacecraft and Dr John Westfall of ALPO proposed the “Luna Incognita” programme in 1972 to try to cover this area. A brief summary of the problems of observing this limb region was given, together with the author’s experience using the T60 and 1-m telescopes at Pic du Midi.
