...through the desert, exploding cars, and intense silences make the film a heart-stopping thriller more than a gross-out horror movie. Additionally, McLean offers the American audience extraordinary footage of this vast and untamed area of Western Australia. Wolf Creek, a park at the top of a meteor crater, is one of the fantastic shots in the panoply of natural beauty the movie shows. The acting of the trio of teenagers is certainly convincing, though nothing exceptional. Their roles—fun loving youngsters who get themselves in trouble—have been seen in everything from...
Unlike the 70,000-capacity crater where Elis host football games, Harvard’s very own Harvard Stadium, located across the Charles River at Soldiers Field, has stayed elegant despite few modifications. Shaped in a neo-classical horseshoe, the Stadium looks very much like it did in 1903, when it became the first large, permanent arena for American college athletics...
...pressure cooker, it is Wolf Creek. For its first half hour or so, the film proceeds leisurely, almost blithely, as it follows the journey across the Outback of three young backpackers from the beaches of Broome, Western Australia, to the meteorite site of Wolfe Creek, with its kilometer-wide crater and ghostly landscape. When the backpackers' watches mysteriously stop, as does their car's engine, we could be back in the moody territory of Picnic at Hanging Rock, especially when the star of that film, John Jarratt, shows...
...Apollo 17 crew in 1972. To determine how heavy the ilmenite concentrations are at that site and to look for other outcroppings as well, NASA recently decided to conduct telescope surveys of four lunar regions: Taurus-Littrow, Hadley-Apennine-landing site of Apollo 15-the unexplored Aristarchus impact crater and nearby Schroter?s Valley. Though ground-based telescopes would ordinarily be suitable for this work, in this case they wouldn?t do, since the scientists were looking for ultraviolet reflections of ilmenite, a frequency of light absorbed by Earth?s atmosphere. The only way to conduct the work...
...telescope found what appears to be ilmenite deposits not only at the Apollo 17 site, where it was known to be, but also in Schroter?s Valley and in especially high concentrations in Aristarchus crater. Aristarchus would make an especially good landing site for future geologists, because the impacts that create craters blasts away surface material, providing a detailed look far below ground. Combine that with the ready lode of oxygen-rich ilmenite, and you?ve got a prime spot for a future moon base...
