The Fonz of Craters
image by luccat@sfr.fr
This has to be one of the coolest craters on the Moon - Alphonsus. It has everything, rilles, peaks, dark halo craters, ridges, a high wall, and it is a floor fractured crater; even legends about red glows and gas emissions. Like the real Fonzie it is just "hey". Ranger 9 crash landed there to get images in 1965 and it really should have had an Apollo mission there if they had continued to Apollo 20. Without doubt, one of the coolest wonders of the Moon.
