The " rel="nofollow GLR is a group of dedicated amateurs interested in the study of " rel="nofollow domes and other lunar surface features visible from Earth. Our work often finds its way into scientific journals. This poster summarizes our study of two domes near Doppelmayer, which were examined in a recent " rel="nofollow paper published in " rel="nofollow Planetary and Space Science, by the GLR group. Due to the fact that Dome 1 is located right on the boundary between hummocky terrain and a mare pond, lateral mixing of mare and highland soils is a much more natural explanation for the observed spectral signature. Dome 1 appears to be smooth with a shallow and elongated fissure on the summit. For dome 2, we found that it is a typical effusive mare dome, given its spectral and morphometric properties and inferred rheologic parameters. In the Lunar Orbiter image the dome appears to have a smooth surface with an out flow channel or chain of vents and linear rilles. An estimation of the dimensions of the feeder dikes suggest that their source regions were located below the lunar crust. In a new and recent image it is possible see the resolved domes in Doppelmayer (see attachment) and the summit elongated fissure for dome 1 but also the central elusive rille for dome 2. It is compared with Lunar Orbiter frame.
