Geocache Description:


 

Zakladek se ne nahaja na začetnih podanih koordinatah. Za končno lokacijo je potrebno rešiti spodnjo nalogo.

Za prvi pristanek na Luni je bilo izbrano mesto Mirnega morja (Mare Tranquilitatis), ker je razmeroma gladko in ravno območje (Spoiler 1). Vseeno ima območje nekaj kraterjev in v zadnjih minutah pred pristankom je moral Neil Armstrong ročno pilotirati lunarni modul APOLLO 11, da bi se izognil žarkovemu kraterju z ostrim robom, širokim približno 180 metrov in globokim 30 metrov, znanemu kot West. Lunarni modul je varno pristal približno 6 km od prvotno načrtovanega pristanišča, približno 400 metrov zahodno od Zahodnega kraterja in 20 km jugozahodno od kraterja Sabine D v jugozahodnem delu Mare Tranquilitatis. Lunina površina na mestu pristanka je bila sestavljena iz drobnih delcev do blokov, širokih približno 0,8 metra.

Na površini Lune se za označevanje lokacij uporablja selenografski koordinatni sistem. Vsak položaj na luninem površju je mogoče določiti z določitvijo dveh številčnih vrednosti, ki sta primerljivi z zemljepisno širino in dolžino Zemlje. Zemljepisna dolžina podaja položaj vzhodno ali zahodno od luninega glavnega poldnevnika, ki je črta, ki poteka od luninega severnega pola skozi točko na lunini površini, ki je neposredno obrnjena proti Zemlji, do luninega južnega pola. (Glej tudi Zemljin začetni poldnevnik.) To si lahko predstavljamo kot sredino vidne Lune, kot jo vidimo z Zemlje. Zemljepisna širina podaja položaj severno ali južno od luninega ekvatorja. Obe koordinati sta podani v stopinjah.

Predstavljajte si namišljeni pristanek lunarnega modula SIDOLLA 24 na Luni.

Astronavt Geolovec Sidol, je tam postavil prvi geozaklad na Luni (Spoiler 2). Za mesto skritja vsebnika je izbral koordinate pristanka APOLLA 11, ki je  kot prvi lunarni modul s človeško posadko 20. julija 1969 pristal na Luni.

The cache is not located at the initial coordinates given. For the final location, it is necessary to solve the task below.

The site of Mare Tranquilitatis was chosen for the first landing on the Moon because it is a relatively smooth and flat area (Spoiler 1). However, the area has some craters, and in the final minutes before landing, Neil Armstrong had to manually pilot the APOLLO 11 lunar module to avoid a sharp-edged ray crater about 180 meters wide and 30 meters deep, known as West. The Lunar Module landed safely about 6 km from the originally planned landing, about 400 meters west of the West Crater and 20 km southwest of the Sabine D Crater in the southwestern part of Mare Tranquilitatis. The lunar surface at the landing site consisted of fine particles down to blocks about 0.8 meters wide. On the surface of the Moon, the selenographic coordinate system is used to mark locations. Any position on the lunar surface can be determined by specifying two numerical values ​​comparable to Earth's latitude and longitude. Longitude gives a position east or west of the Moon's prime meridian, which is a line running from the Moon's North Pole through the point on the Moon's surface directly facing Earth to the Moon's South Pole. (See also Earth's prime meridian.) This can be thought of as the center of the visible Moon as seen from Earth. Latitude indicates the position north or south of the lunar equator. Both coordinates are given in degrees.

Imagine the imaginary landing of the lunar module SIDOLL 24 on the Moon.

Astronaut Geocacher Sidol, placed the first geocach on the Moon there (Spoiler 2). He chose the coordinates of the landing of APOLLO 11, which was the first manned lunar module to land on the Moon on July 20, 1969.

You can validate first stage with certitude.
