Southern lunar

Do you have the discipline to ignore the crater Clavius and focus on the images of smaller craters south? The astrophotographer who recorded the image above did it, and we have to respect their work. The crater Blancanus is in the middle of the field of view and the top image is the crater Klaproth with your inner softened. Both had their depths reduced by some kind of material that covered the inside in Balancanus you can still see the central peak and Klaproth a little more. The standard explanation and almost certainly correct, what material is ejected from the fluid formation of Orientale Basin filled the interior of these craters and other low spots. Using tools available in the Quick Map of LRO is possible to determine the elevation of the interior of the crater Clavius which is approximately 3000 meters below the average elevation of the crater, and Blancanus is a little deeper, about 3600 feet below, but is Klaproth much higher than 1800 meters. If a rain uniform ejecta fell through all these craters each of them should have been more shallow by the same amount. And perhaps this has happened. This would mean that each crater has already been modified, or, as is true of course for the Blancanus, some of them were younger than the other. Probably both things happened, and as the rays of craters, the distribution of ejecta was probably not uniform.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
