Notes:
The Moon has a surface area of some 37.96 million Km2, and a diameter of some 3,476 Km.
The directions East (E) and West (W) marked on the graphic, are directions as seen from the Moon; These are opposite of East and West as seen from the Earth.
ARVAL's Moon Map shows the Moon as seen through binoculars or the naked eyes, it does not invert the image in any direction.
The original Full Moon photograph, compressed and reduced for this page, is a copyright © of the UCO/Lick Observatory (University of California Observatories).
For general information on the Moon, in ARVAL:
Link to The Moon (in the "General
Astronomy Information Leaflets" from the Royal Greenwich Observatory).
For more information on the exploration of the Moon, link to NASA - Human Space Flight - Apollo History.
To install ARVAL's Moon Map on a Palm Handheld:
Save
the Palm FireViewer image MoonMap.pdb (145 KB, 16 Gray - High
Compression) in your hard drive.
Install the program FireViewer. Then install
MoonMap.pdb in your Palm Handheld.
Use the free program AvantGo to create the channel Observatorio ARVAL - Moon Map in your account, with just the text
from this page, for Palm OS 4 or 5 (3 KB),
or the channel Observatorio ARVAL - Moon Map (GR), with the text from this page
and a reduced map, for Palm OS 5 (13 KB).
Now you have a good map of the Moon in your Palm!
(AvantGo can not process
the large image, and this way, even though divided between two applications, the
map will be complete)
