Description

In this southern region of the Moon, there are two predominant formations, on the one hand an amazing crater very elongated, Schiller, at the top and right of the image and Bailly a vast closed plain 303 km in diameter here at the bottom and in the middle of the image, particularly clearly visible due to favourable libration.

I would like to take this opportunity to talk about this day, an anniversary, the discovery of the planet Pluto by Clyde Tombaugh, a 22-year-old American at the Lowel Observatory in Arizona on February 18, 1930.
