Astronomy Adventure – Tycho Crater

Starting at the top along the terminator, you can see the crater Curtius with what looks like a central peak; below that, the large crater with some smaller craters inside, is Clavius; and the crater below with the distinct central peak is Tycho.

In this photo, you can see some of the “rays”, material that was displaced when the meteor that created Tycho hit the Moon, that radiate from Tycho on the left.
