Endymion completely flooded by darkness.



It was pretty hard to figure out what crater is in this picture as it is completely flooded by darkness. This is the crater Endymion (125 km), which I also presented on other occasions, but never under these lighting conditions.

Lunar crater Endymion and anomalies Astronomy Registax Images by telescope

These are images processed in Registax.

Atlas and Hercules craters, are located on the northeast of the Moon. Each of them presents interesting features: one is the floor full of ditches and rough terrain, and two black spots opposite to each other, like Atlas, and one with a smooth floor and a deep and bright in sunlight small crater, found near the center, as Hercules.

Endymion (129 km), has also a smooth crater floor darker than the surrounding land, with no central peak. Californian amateur astronomer Bill Penn, while looking through his reflector telescope, in October 2009, noticed an anomaly on the northern edge of the crater, some glowing spheres.

He believes that most of the visible Moon from Earth, is hidden with holograms or other types of camouflage. Somehow, at 5:30 am on October 7, the camouflage has become inoperable or were closed for a short time, giving us a view of what is really there.

 I find this story interesting, especially because exactly where Bill saw the anomaly, there are three small craters on the floor, perfectly aligned and almost with identical dimensions.

Video by telescope: Endymion, Atlas and Hercules Moon craters.

Video by telescope: Endymion Hercules and Atlas lunar craters.
This is the clearest video of these craters.
Endynion is near the north-east terminal of the Moon, near Lacus Temporis.
 Mare Humboldtianum is more closer to the edge of the Moon seen from Earth. This sea is not shown in video.

Hercules,Atlas and Endymion craters (video)

In this video are Hercules, Atlas and Edymion craters from the north side of the Moon. Captured images are here. The video has been stabilized, and has moments of clarity, so floors of these craters are clearly visible.

Hercules, Atlas and Endymion craters

        Endymion (125 km), bigest-right corner, is a lunar crater that is located near the terminal northeast of the Moon. It is located east of Mare Frigoris, and north of Lacus Temporis. Southwest is the crater Hercules and Atlas craters. Because its location, Endymion looks oval. Beyond the crater is Mare Humboldtianum.

Endymion's floor was covered by lava, which gives it a dark appearance, and it makes it easy to locate. The floor is almost flat and featureless, with a few small crateres located inside. this crater has a depth of 2.6 km.
