Stretched across the bottom of this picture is the 600
kilometer long and up to 5 kilometer high Apennine Mountain
Range, skirting the vast flat basalt plain of Mare Imbrium
(the “Sea of Rains”), an ancient impact basin. The
prominent, flat-floored bowl in the upper part of the
picture is Archimedes Crater, an impact crater measuring 82
kilometers across. |
