Description

The crater Aristoteles stands proudly just south of part of the shore of the Mare frigoris and a little way east of the Montes Alpes. It is 87km from rim to rim and possesses very finely terraced walls, rising to over 3.3km above the floor. The floor, itself, is far from smooth. A low Sun angle reveals that it is rippled with small hills. A little to the south lies the 67km diameter Eudoxus, itself positioned at the northern termination of the Montes Caucasus. Its walls rise to a similar height as Aistoteles.

Aristoteles and Eudoxus are a magnificent pair of craters, easily identified al almost all lunar phases.

Processing done by the great friend Vinicius Martins! ;^D
