5 Lucey’s spectral method

6 SLOPE MOVEMENT OF MATERIAL IN CRATER BURG R 415 + R 750 +R 950 1 2 3 1 2 3 M101977752R M113778346L

7 Calculated exposure age, corresponding to value of OMAT ~ 0,7 – 0,8, is about a few years

8 AREA 3 IN CRATER BURG IMAGE FROM LROCIMAGE FROM “CHANG’E – 2” It’s possible the process is present

9 SLOPE MOVEMENT OF MATERIAL IN CRATER REINER FRAGMENT OF M135548391L Phase angle 57.73 о, Resolution 0.495 m/px Slope angle 13 – 14 o Flow thickness 1 – 2 m Width of a flow 15 – 20 m Length of a flow 850 – 900 m Mass of soil in one flow 40x10 3 t PREDICTION: Sliding friction factor 0.2 – 0.4 Grain size of moved material < 10 

10 CURRENT EVENTS ON MERCURY? CRATER DEGAS (D = 53 km) Image from MESSENGER spacecraft, 17.06.2011

11 CURRENT EVENTS ON PHOBOS? IMAGE OF STICKNEY FROM “MARS EXPRESS” (2008)

12 CURRENT EVENTS ON ICE MOONS OF SATURN? PHOEBE (p=1.3 g/cm 3 ) DIONE (p=1.5 g/cm 3 ) Images from CASSINI spacecraft

13 CURRENT EVENTS ON VESTA? IMAGES FROM “DAWN”, July - August 2011

14 CURRENT EVENTS ON VESTA? IMAGE FROM “DAWN”, September 2011

15 Summary: We known now that is possible to observe the nearest, current events on our “lifeless” celestial companion. Probably this event is common for all atmosphereless bodies of Solar System.
