Cose-ups of various regions.
The crater Copernicus is about 65 miles across. The "brushed"
appearance around
the crater is due to material ejected from the crater during the impact
that formed it.
The images above show the "Stright Wall", a lunar fault line that has
shifted to form a 60 mile long, 800 foot high cliff.
The fault line is near the center of the moon's face. The first
image shows it at first quarter, when sunlight is shining from the
right,
which is the higher side of the cliff, so the cliff casts a shadow
which
forms a straight black line. The second (2X close-up) image was
taken
at third quarter, so the sunlight is shining at the face of the cliff.
CCD images at prime focus (first image), and with a 2X barlow (second
