    Astronomy Adventure - More Lunar Craters

    Here is a photo of the magnificent crater Copernicus with its central peaks in the middle of the frame. Above it is the crater Eratosthenes and below is the crater Rheinhold with its terraced walls. The mountains to the left of Copernicus are the Montes Carpatus, whose highest peak rises about 7,000 feet. The peak at the far left is known as the Promontorium Banat.


    Can you spot the "N" in the mountain range?
