Todays' APOD picture (a stitch taken by Roddy Mackenzie in 1989) is so stunning that I decided to make a polar projection, after some corrections.

Look at the dark sky, it really seems a picture from space...

PS: happy Easter to all UMSF members...

I think the crater walls will be far below the horizon in each case though. -------------------- It's a funny old world - A man's lucky if he gets out of it alive. - W.C. Fields.
