Description

Copernicus crater (on the moon) - along with it's neighbours Kepler crater (down and to the left) and Aristarchus crater (further to the left, and bright white/blue)
This is a prominent crater, only 93km across but with very visible rays that are still mostly untouched indicating the relative youth of Copernicus

This image has increased color saturation in an effort to show the "mineral Moon" that highlights the colors of the Moons surface - blues and reds as well as the standard greys.
