Aristarchus

Hi all, Aristarchus is an extraordinarily bright crater, visible also on the night side of the Moon in Earthshine, centre of bright ray system. Nearby is the flooded crater Herodotus with diameter of 35kms. Schroteri Valley above it is the largest sinuous valley on the Moon with a length of 160kms and maximum depth is 1000metres.
