Imagine pentru orientare din 29 aprilie 20212.

Maginus (163 km), is located at the southeast crater Tycho (86 km). We talked about it in several articles. No news on this crater observation at this Moon phase.

The name of the crater comes from Giovanni Antonio Magini (in Latin, Maginus) (June 13, 1555 - February 11, 1617), which was an Italian astronomer, astrologer, mathematician and cartographer.
