What was the year of the first manned lunar landing and the year of the last manned lunar moon landing? 6) In February 1990, Voyager 1 took a series of photographs compiled into a famous image that had a significant social impact. Astronomer Carl Sagan (who was a big influence on, and friend of, Neil DeGrasse Tyson) requested the photograph be taken and wrote a book which shares its name with the photograph. What was the name of this image which featured our small planet?  A. Pale Blue Dot  B. Sun and Earth  C. Moon's Earth Rise  D. The solar System  12) Brock Earth Sciences Professor Frank Fueten (he narrates the crater counting tutorial in assignment 2) works on Martian geology using satellite observations from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). On MRO there is a device called The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE). HiRISE is, in layman’s terms, a really nice camera surveying Mars so geologists can interpret landforms and spectral signatures. How small of a feature can HiRISE resolve (reveal)? A. 180 meters   B. 1 meter C. 30 centimeters D. 17 furlongs
