Pythagoras Crater

Pythagoras Crater is at the center of this field of view and is a prominent impact crater located near the northwestern limb of the Moon. It has a diameter of 80 miles and is 16,400 feet deep. The prominent central peak rises just over 4,200 feet and is casting a very long shadow that appears to just be touching the western wall of the crater. The rim is well-preserved and the terraced walls are quite apparent. Captured Jan 26 during a full terminator imaging session at 20:28 during the 97.3 % waxing phase.
To the southeast is Babbage and to the northeast is Anaximander.
