"Good tip... "
That's a decent version of the image, a bit lacking in clarity though the de-striping has improved the cosmetics a bit... the resolution is nowhere near the max of the Lunar Orbiter data. That incredible tortured terrain, unsoftened except at the 10 cm's scale (according to Surveyor 7's view of start of formation of regolith on the ejecta blanket) (but also enhanced by the long shadows of the low sun during imaging) is one version of what every large crater's floor looked like originally. Compare the still fairly fresh but clearly blurred floor of Copernicus, and something like Eratosthenes. |
