Gassendi Crater is located at the
northern edge of the Moon's Mare Humorum. After the
impact event that formed the crater, it was filled with
lava, and only the crater walls and central peaks remain
visible. A smaller crater--Gassendi A--was formed at
the edge of the larger by a subsequent impact event.
Gassendi is almost 70 miles across at about a mile deep on
average. |
