Unknown
Tycho crater (85 km) is impressive in any light, and is easily distinguished among other craters around, especially because its shape and very long and intense rays that start from it.
Here, Tycho is half in darkness, shadow which bypasses the central peak on the floor, being left in the light.
Around it, there are many small holes, which are its satellite craters, and of other craters as of Heinsius (64 km) and Pictet (62 km).
Dark craters left are Longomontanus (145 km) and Montanari (77 km).
