A Hot Day at Plato

Plato-Lazzarotti.jpg
image by Paolo R. Lazzarotti and Tiziano Olivetti

This is the last of the spectacular lunar images that Paolo and Tiziano captured in Bangkok. It demonstrates that a low Sun isn’t necessary to capture multiple craterlets in Plato. In fact, the high lighting reveals the nimbuses of many tiny pits too small for their crater rims to be detected. Ho hum, another great image.
