Description

Grimaldi is a large (220km) crater/basin near the western limb of the moon. The relatively smooth and dark floor is the home of a large but low dome (only 130 meters higher than the crater floor). The dome is labeled Gr1.

Image taken on October 27th, 2023 when the low sun illumination facilitated the capturing of this elusive feature.

Lunar domes are structures that are believed to be of true volcanic origins.
