Peter_D Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Hi, Here's an image of crater Walther from last evening - the shadow cast by its central peak was very prominent.

maw lod qan Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I know by the shadows that the sun angle is low. But still, from the shadow of the central peak, the peak must be quite tall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
