Title
AS10-30-4351 - Apollo 10
Description
  • Scope and content: King crater and King Y crater.
    The central portion of this photo was used in Figure 2-27 of Analysis of Apollo 10 Photography and Visual Observations (NASA SP-232, 1971), which has the following caption:
Portion of Apollo 10 photograph AS10-30-4351 showing details of northwest wall of crater.

The text of the report refers to the figure as follows:

Area J (figs. 2-24, 2-26, and 2-27) is unusual because of the high albedo, which is greater than that of the densest rays in the vicinity, and because of the abnormal morphology.
In the Apollo 8 report (ref. 2-11), evidence was presented that the bright interior slopes of craters were the result of the downslope movement of material that had exposed relatively fresh surfaces. However, this apparently is not the case for area J, because the neighboring area K displays equally steep slopes but is of considerably lower albedo.
A stereoscopic examination of area J reveals a jumbled aggregate of subconical hills. The valleys separating these hills contain darker material (similar to Tsiolkovsky), but the most unusual features are the dark narrow fingers of material that appear to have issued from the summits of some of the hills (e.g., areas L, M, and N, fig. 2-27). It is impossible to decide whether these fingers are the result of fluid flow or are talus deposits, but the fact that the fingers come from the hill summits suggests a volcanic origin. The albedo extremes are also strongly indicative of differentiation processes by long-term melting.
