Hausen in favorable libration !

[astroavani]

The full moon in fact , most often not presented completely full . Right now you can see all the terminator slipping around the limb of the Moon so that shadows are always generated somewhere, providing beautiful views of our satellite . On this last full moon of May the shadows were generated by the mountains of the south pole of the ring forming part of the South Pole Aitken Basin . In the photo below obtained in a favorable libration was possible to capture the crater Hausen . This crater is difficult to see since it was situated very near the limbus and rarely get to see their mountainous central peak so clearly .

If you've seen a crater on the Moon , then presto, you 've seen them all. Because the energy involved in forming an impact crater to be something so intense , the craters of similar size and new looks are very similar . For example , let us consider two examples of two gigantic crater. One is the Copernicus crater 93 km wide and famous for its prime location when viewed from Earth , well known to us all . The other is the crater Hausen with their 167 km wide and difficult to see as it is located on the southwest limb of the Moon beyond Bailly . Despite the difference in diameter , the craters are very similar , both have sheer walls with terraces that descend to the inner plane of the crater , which is filled by central mountains . The fresh impact craters with diameters ranging from 40 km to 200 km are very similar . In craters larger sizes there is a transition to peak ring craters and multi-ring basins .

Although this picture is not left with good quality was the first time I could record this crater and therefore decided to include it in my photo gallery .
