Description
A relatively fresh Copernicus-like crater at high latitude on the farside. It has typical wall terraces and central peaks. The texture on the relatively smooth floor suggests that it has not been infilled by downslope movement of wall materials; possibly it is impact melt. The odd line of 10 or so evenly spaced bumps on the NW edge of the floor is real, for it also appears on the recent SMART-1 image. The bumps line up with a possible lineation just outside the crater wall that roughly points back toward [/Ricco Ricco] but I don't know what formed the bumps. - tychocrater tychocrater Sep 1, 2007
