Apollo 15 Landing Site Anaglyph Bookmark Mini Business Card

The used Nasa images are in the public domain. The location of the Apollo 15 landing site near Hadley rille. The landing occurred on a dark mare plain called Palus Putredinis, or the Marsh of Decay. Aristillus and Autolycus craters, north of the landing site, have numerous bright rays associated with them, and some of these rays cross the landing site. Hadley rille itself is a sinuous channel upto 1/6th mile (0.25km) deep which was cut by volcanic lava. The Hadley C crater next to the rille is about 3 miles (5km) in diameter. The prominent mountain to the upper right of the landing site is Mt. Hadley The Apennine mountains to the right form part of the south west rim of the huge Imbrium impact basin and stand up to 2 miles (3km) above the surface. Grabens lie parallel to this impact basin rim. The large Apennine mountain closest to the landing site is Hadley Delta, with St. George crater on its lower flanks adjacent to the Hadley Rille. The 6 mile (10km) diameter crater Aratus is visible in the lower right. Apollo 15 was the first mission to drive a lunar rover and using this three surface excursions were made totaling 18.5 hours of manned exploration. Original Images credit: NASA.
