The Astronomy Cafe Video of Clavius Moretus Maginus Tycho lunar craters

Of all the craters located in the south of the Moon, Moretus (114 km), it seems the nicest of all. Perfectly round, symmetrical terraces on the inner wall, and even the mountain top on its floor seems perfectly located in the center.

Interested in astronomy Video Mare Frigoris and Plato crater

Mare Frigoris  (Sea of cold ) is an area located north of Mare Imbrium, and extends from the east of Mare Imbrium, to north of Mare Serenitatis . Mare Frigoris material around the north and east is from Imbrian era, and the material of the west is from Eratosthenian era .

Earth's moon Video Arzachel lunar crater through my telescope

Craters-Arzachel Thebit and Rupes Recta
In the video below, is observed Arzachel crater, an impressive crater from Imbrian Era, with well defined and deep walled terraces. It makes a nice trio with craters Alphonsus and Ptolemaeus, on north.

The best north lunar craters through my 8" telescope

Craters-W.Bond and Meton .
Meton (122 km), has a vast crater floor, on the north side of the Moon, with a well-defined edge, which consists of a number of large bays. W. Bond (158 km), whose irregular southern flanks include Timaeus polygonal crater (33 km) and which are part of Mare Frigoris north shore, is well seen through a telescope of 203 mm, good atmosphere conditions.

Information education entertainment South craters of the Moon

Craters-Heraclitus and Licetus  Heraclitus,  is a complex crater and is located in rugged mountainous areas south of the Moon.The crater is 90 kilometers in diameter and 3.8 kilometers deep. Licetus-and Heraclitus are together and form the southern end. Cuvier is at west and north is Lilius. East of Heraclitus, in the shadow of the camera is a small satellite crater, Heraclitus K.

Lunar article Gassendi crater video

 In this clip, the image is clear and mountainous region that lies to the north (image is inverted), shows features with very fine details and distinctive.
Gassendi crater is hunted by many amateur astronomers because it is large, 110 km diameter, and presents those rilles on his floor, which in clear weather, are wonderful to look through a telescope. Gassendi A , 33 km, is the 'diamond' of the big 'ring'.

Moon geology Meton and Barrow lunar craters

Meton lunar crater is located on the north of the Moon.It has a depth of 2.6 km, and is a formation composed of several craters, rings that were joined by lava flood. The result is a crater-shaped leaf clover.

Astronomy resource Plato lunar crater through telescope

Bay of Rainbows, or Sinus Iridium, consists of Montes Jura mountains, forming a bay. It is actually the remnants of the walls of a large crater.
Isolated and elongated mountain from Mare Imbrium, is Montes Rectum.
On Imbrium sea are visible two different colour shades that divides the sea in two. This highlights shows in fact that there are two types of soil found in this area.

Full HD South Pole Moon craters

At the poles, the sun is always at small angles, so this is creating a unique environment, but also some difficulties in interpreting the geological region.
The southern hemisphere of the Moon craters are very different in size, appearance and how they were formed by impacts in the past.

The two craters Aristoteles and Euxodus

The two craters Aristoteles and Euxodus are on the north side of the Moon. They have similar shapes but different sizes. This area, unlike the South Pole, is flat, without many craters. Here we find large seas, and or small or very large craters.

Astronomy web Toward Moretus lunar crater

Moretus (114 km), appears as a plate. Looking from above it seems perfectly round, but it's southern edge is wider. With this form, seems a more of a copy of the Drygalski crater (149 km), but which can not be seen from Earth because is at the south of the Moon side but not visible to us.

Southern hemisphere of the Moon is in rough terrain, heavily cratered and with mountainous areas.
At the poles, the sun is always at small angles, so this is creating a unique environment, but also some difficulties in interpreting the geological region.
The southern hemisphere of the Moon craters are very different in size, appearance and how they were formed by impacts in the past.

Extreme Zooming on the lunar craters

Earth has only one Moon, but is a big one! Earth's Moon is the fifth largest in the whole solar system, yet is smaller than Earth, so that objects weigh less on the Moon than here. Therefore, astronauts have enjoyed their jumps on the lunar surface.

Selenology Stadius crater and Mare Insularum

Sinus Aestuum is almost with no albedo on surface or basalt lava. It is marked by several small impacts, and some rilles.At the east border is an irregular area that divides the bay from Mare Vaporum at east. To the north are Montes Apenninus and the crater Eratosthenes. Along the west side is the flooded crater Stadius (69 km),and Mare Insularum at southwest.
