Here is a nice oblique view. Sorry I don't know the source of the image. Apollo 16? Has the look of LROC about it though.

Article about discovery of magmatic water on the central peak of Bullialdus crater.

http://scitechdaily.com/scientists-detect-magmatic-water-in-bullialdus-crater-on-the-moon/ If I understand it correctly, and I'm not sure I do, but the magmatice water on Bullialdus' central peak was brought up from deep within the Moon when the central peak rebounded from the projectile impact. This gives us a small look at the composition of the lower layers of the Moon's crust. Please some one correct me if I'm wrong.
