A team of scientists has detected the lowest frequency radar echo off the moon ever picked up by Earth-based receivers. In the lunar echo experiment, high power transmitter, located near Gakona, Alaska, launched high power radio waves toward the moon. The reflected signal, weakened because of the long distance to the moon and back, was detected by receiving antennas in New Mexico. picked by AutumnLotus 8 months ago

The Richat Structure, Oudane, Mauritania(50 km in diameter - 30 miles). Originally thought to be a crater, this volcanic dome is most likely a product of erosion, an ancient geological artefact in the middle of featureless Maur Adrar desert, in Africa's Western Sahara.
