Beyond the Polar Explorers
image by Stefan Lammel
The south polar region of the Moon provides perhaps the most dramatic celestial landscape that can be observed through a telescope. Tall mountains that ring the South Pole-Aitken Basin jut up into the sky, and deep craters cast dark shadows across their floors. The compression of the landscape through foreshortening makes identification of features difficult, even on a fantastic image such as this. The Tycho-like crater at lower left is Schomberger and a now apparently to be launched in May, 2009.
