Eratosthenes is 60 Km in diameter and slightly older than Copernicus, to its south-west, at between 1,000
and 3,000 million years. It lies on the southern end of the Apennine mountains and is some 3,600 metres deep. A mosaic containing both Eratosthenes and Copernicus can be seen here. The picture was taken with a ToUcam attached to my LX200 with a X2 adaptor lens at 03:31 UT on 7th October 2004 when the Moon was 22.8 days old. |
