	Autolycus (crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Autolycus is a lunar impact crater that is located in the southeast part of Mare Imbrium.
		Just to the north is the Aristillus crater, and the outer ramparts of these two craters overlap in the intermediate stretch of the lunar mare.
		The rim of Autolycus is somewhat irregular, although generally circular overall.

		This 126km diameter impact crater is well noted for the overlying later impact that caused the formation of the crater Faraday (70km in diameter) toward upper left.
		This crater is 40km in diameter, and 3600m from the crater floor to rim.
		This is a well-known lunar impact crater 83km in diameter and lies on the eastern edge of the Mare Imbrium.

		Aristillus is a ray crater (55 km/3650 m), with a group of three peaks on the floor (900 m).
		The large crater near the horizon is Aristillus, which is about 55 kilometers (34.18 statute miles) in diameter.
		The crater just to the south of Aristillus is Autolycus, which is about 40 kilometers (35 statute miles) in diameter.

	Aristillus (crater)
		Aristillus is a prominent lunar impact crater that lies in the lunar mare at the southeast of Mare Imbrium.
		Directly to the south is the smaller Autolycus crater, while to the southwest is the large Archimedes crater.
		To the northwest are the Theaetetus and Cassini craters.

		Carefully showing her the crater for which the famous rilles are named, we followed in great detail the dashes and slashes that make up the Rimae Triesnecker.
		Their shadows were responsible for the hidden eastern floor of their parent crater, as was the big crater's high western wall for the darkness around its prisoners.
		To Cassini's south, the western slopes of crater Aristillus rose, showing channels, clefts and rubble in intricate detail, while the rest of the crater, and what is perhaps an ancient buried crater wall barely visible as a slight risen partial circle to its north, lay cloaked in increasing shadow.

	Lesson 8 - The Lunar Landscape
		Some of the largest craters, which were probably formed long ago, when the Moon was still being bombarded by very big objects, have experienced lava flows within the crater.
		Overlapping craters provide a series of time points in which we can deduce that the most recent crater is the one with the complete rim.
		Walter and Ptolemaeus are dark floored, walled plains craters at each end of a chain of craters that form a prominent group to the east of Nubium.

		Following Gene Shoemaker's analysis in the late 1950s we now know that crater rays are pulverized ejecta widely dispersed from craters formed by high speed impact and mixed with local material gardened by such ejecta.
		The two most important recent studies are The Origin of Lunar Crater Rays by Hawke and colleagues, and Optical Maturity of Ejecta from Large Rayed Lunar Craters by Grier and colleagues.
		Although there are obviously many rayed craters, lists of crater ray systems are not as common as they were 100 years ago.

		Autolycus, with its heavily slumped walls and little rim crater, is on the small side of the threshold where an impact generates a central peak.
		And that is, on the crater pair, just north of Tsiolkovsky - there - the - the smaller of the craters on the west side apparently was - was an original crater, with an impact occurring alongside it.
		The larger crater on the west side has a fairly intact rim, being faulted in a couple of places where it crosses the rim of the crater to the west.

		The small mountain-like feature inside the Eratosthenes crater (called the central peak) was caused by the shock of the impact.

		The depths of unknown craters on the moon can be approximated by comparing the lengths of their shadows to the shadows of craters with known depths.
		The crater Aristillus is 11,000 feet deep and its shadow was measured as 1.5 mm on a photograph.
		Its companion crater, Autolycus, had a shadow of 1.3 mm on the same photograph.

		Most of these craters were formed between 3,000 and 4,000 million years ago.
		Much of our knowledge of the structure of the Lunar surface and the geology of the Moon comes from the landings of the Apollo series and the samples of Lunar material which were brought back to Earth.

		Pockets have given way to costly safes for money protection and Autolycus has become a scientific criminal with nitro-glycerine and dynamite In less than a year and a half ending with the first of January there were one hundred and eight-six bank burglaries on record with over one hundred successful.

		The prominent fillet is between the rock and the crater and, as suggested in the Apollo 15 Preliminary Science Report, may represent soft soil on the crater rim that shoved aside as the rock settled into place.
		And there was no crater as such (that the boulder was sitting in); it was fairly on the surface.
		We've got a fairly deep crater; it must be about 10 meters across, and a meter and a half or so deep, and we'll pick the rim of that.
