Walter & Co

This is what crater Walther and its surroundings looked like last night (12/06/16 - 13/06/16).

Crater Walther is an impact crater that shows a dark halo. It can be found on the southern highland region of the Moon with its 135km diameter and 4km depth.
Because of the terminator situation on that night, different selenologic features could perfectly be appreciated, such as the raised rims and their texture or the central peak uplift.
There are lots of smaller craters in the inside, this fact drives us to think that Walther is an ancient crater. Despite of the damage those smaller impacts cause, there are some other big craters that can be seen in the area: for example, Nonius, a 69 km wide and 3 km deep crater named after Pedro Nunes.
