Description

The 'lunar'tic is back.

Anaxagoras is a relatively young impact crater whose rays have not yet been eroded or disrupted by younger impacts or by the cumulative effects of ‘space weathering’ caused by the solar wind. The impact rays can be seen spread to the lower part of the field of view across the older and more deeply eroded craters of Goldschmidt, Barrow, Meton, W.Bond and Epigenes, and which extend some 900km south, across the Sea of Frigoris and Plato crater (beyond field of view). Timaeus at lower left.
Imaged from Seacliff, South Australia, 6-9-2022 (Waxing gibbous 10.3 days).
