Aristoteles and Eudoxus

#1

Post by RonGiddy »


Aristoteles and Eudoxus craters are located on the Southern edge of the Luna Mare Frigoris - The Sea of Cold, which in terms of Mare descriptive Selenography is somewhat vaguely defined. Aristoteles lies east of the Montes Alpes and to the north of the Montes Caucasus which are at the foot of the image. It is an impact crater of approximately 87kms in diameter with a depth of 3700.0m. Its relatively shallow depth for a crater of such diameter may indicate post impact lava flooding. Unlike most examples of complex craters the absence of any high central mountain could be an indication that such an event did occur leaving only the tops of the impactor peaks visible. The almost complete collapse of the crater South-Western wall is sharply seen in this image along with well-defined terraces to the East bordering the earlier formed Mitchell crater. The South Wall of Aristoteles has also been “pushed in” by ejecta from the impactor that later produced Eudoxus crater.
Eudoxus crater is 67km in diameter and around 3.4km in depth, as with its neighbour it lacks a central peak and contains only a group of low hills scattered about the central area. The terraced structure of the walls is clearly visible.

Great image, Ron! You have really pulled in a lot of detail with good contrast. I am trying to set up with a six inch reflector to make a concentrated study of the Moon, which I promised myself a long time ago. Images like yours help me understand what I should be seeing and help me understand what is really there. Thanks for sharing! :)

That's a great Lunar image Ron.

I have the same camera, it's good to see what others can do with it!

Regards

Graeme
