Observational astronomy: Picard crater.






Beautiful Crisium basin region can not be denied by anyone who observes these images. Notice here the south-western edge of the Mare, with the beautiful lace in sunlight.

Picard (23 km) is easily located on the basin, with an oval shape in semi-darkness.
