Mosaics Theophilus, Cyrillus and Catharina (Mädler, Catena Abulfeda and part of Mare Nectaris) NEW 2016 - Moon age 7.8 days Hipparchus and Albategnius Heraclitus - Playfair (Maurolycus, Stöffler, Aliacensis, Werner, Apianus) South pole region around Helmholtz and Amundsen |
Image 003 - shows the crater chain Catena Abulfeda which presumably originated from a fragmented comet
Image 007 - shows Caldera Hyginus, Rima Hyginus and further to the north the large pyroclastic ash field Mare Vaporum
NEW 2016 - Das Bild 0013 - shows the crater Albategnius. On the crater floor are some shallow depressions that are visible only in a narrow time window of illumination around a Moon age of 7.8 days.
NEW 2016 - Das Bild 0032 - shows the strange crater Heraclitus. In the central part there is an elongated montain ridge that divides the crater. There are only two similar craters on the near side of the moon: Schiller and Delaunay. To the north lie the great craters Stöffler and Maurolycus. The moon age was 7.8 days.
