Help Map the Moon’s Molten Flows!

When the asteroids strike the moon, the impacts shake the craters and with enough energy and pressure, melt the parts of the rocky surface. Often, the hot and sticky white fusion (it is like lava, except that it does not burst from the basement) slips around the new crater and the surrounding regions. The molten rock cools and hardens in large characteristics of rock called deposits with impact fusion flows. These flow deposits are abstract sculpture -like arts with beautiful lines and textures.

Now scientists from Lunar Melt Citizen Science Project ask your help to map these flows. You will mark rocks, measure the lengths of the rocks, and describe the craters and melt the deposits in images of the Lunar Reconnaissance Space Vessel of NASA.

Your contributions will help you reveal how the impact cast iron has changed the surface of the moon, especially around the little Lowell crater and the Tycho crater, and helps scientists use impact fusion flows to find out more about the interior of the moon.
