Spectacular Feature Revealed: The detection of little-known and unknown regions of the moon also generated an excitement of discovery in the photographs. To many the most spectacular feature revealed in Orbiter 4 photography was the Orientale basin. Part of Mare Orientale (Oriental Sea) is just barely visible from the earth on the extreme western edge of the moon. Lunar Orbiter 4 disclosed the great size of this structure, more than 600 mi (966 km) in diameter, and also showed that it is a somewhat recent feature. It is considered to be relatively young because it is surrounded by a blanket of rock material that has covered the older highly-cratered lunar surface.
That's one reason why the feature photography field remains comparatively uncrowded, despite its obvious advantages over spot news coverage. It's easier for the cameraman to come up to the standards of news photography than to those of feature photography. There are many photographers perfectly capable of doing features, and who would like to do them, who never get into the field for the simple reason that they don't ever see the opportunities all around them for feature pictures. They lack the knack, something akin to the "nose for news" mentioned in the previous chapter, to recognize feature picture material.
God has revealed Himself and His will in ways that are readily understandable in terms of human reason—in nature, in human history, in man's own nature. But there are other aspects of God that man can know only through t ercise of faith—a willingness on his i accept what are sometimes called the of revelation, as opposed to the truths of These may be revealed through some we acts that awe and impress, oracular woi some other manifestation; such a revi which must be accepted on faith, is a speech of God to man, although the rr may be delivered through a prophet or agent.
