NASA LROC - Tycho Central mountains

[johnfosteruk]

I occasionally check in on the LROC site and the latest images posted the other day are rather impressive.

An oblique view of Tycho showing the mountains, an interesting write up on the shape of the crater, lava flows, it's all there and it's all good. All in all worth a peak (so to speak).

Astonishing level of detail in these images

I'm tempted to download the 168mb TIFF version just to see how deep it goes !

I particularly like the shot in one of the links from that page of the 20m boulder in the summit crater - astonishing isn't the word.
