	Hitchhiker's Guide to Rukl Chart 72
		5/4/96: The crater Clavius was a wonder to view around, as the terminator was cutting thru the middle of it by the time I got to it.....The Western rim of the crater was in bright sunrise, while the crater floor east of the rim was stillin shadow.
		Craters C and D were well illuminated as was the area in the immediate vacinity, whil the areas to the West and East of clavius' floor were still in shadow.
		The are two obvious medium sized craters within this larger one, one of the craters is on the south side of the floor and one is in the center of Casatus.

		This 57km diameter impact crater is attached to the north west rim of the large Petavius crater.
		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.

	Clavius (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Notable nearby craters include Scheiner to the west; Blancanus to the southwest; Maginus in the northeast, and Longomontanus to the northwest.
		The crater is one of the older formations on the lunar surface and was likely formed during the Nectarian period about 4 billion years ago.
		The crater floor retains a diminshed remnant of a central massif, which lies between Clavius C and N. The relative smoothness of the floor and the low size of the central peaks may indicate that the crater surface was formed some time after the original impact.

	The Moon -- Chapter 7
		The diameter of the crater is 70 miles; the surrounding wall or rampart varies in height from 4000 to upwards of 8000 feet, and is serrated with noble peaks which cast their fl shadows across the plateau in a most picturesque manner, like the towers and spires of a great cathedral.
		The exterior of the crater wall is remarkable for the rugged character of its formation, and forms a great contrast in that respect to the comparatively smooth unbroken surface of the plateau, which by the way is devoid of a central cone.
		This magnificent crater, which occupies the centre of the crowded group in our Plate, is 54 miles in diameter, and upwards of 16,000 feet deep, from the highest ridge of the rampart to the surface of the plateau, whence rises a grand central cone 5000 feet high.

		Two gigantic craters, Eudoxus being nearly 35 miles in diameter and upwards of 11,000 feet deep, while Aristotle is about 48 miles in diameter, and about 10,000 feet deep (measuring from the summit of the rampart to the plateau).
		Not but that many smaller lunar craters exist possessed of this unmistakable evidence of their volcanic origin; but so minute are the specks of light which the central cones of such small craters reflect, that they, for that reason, most probably fail to reveal themselves.
		In the interior of the great crater, Walter, a remarkable group of small craters may be observed surrounding its central cone, which in this instance is not so perfectly in the centre of the rampart as is usually the case.

		Humboldt is a spectacular crater but not often seen, because it lies in the zone of libration, which was favourable for Humboldt on this occasion, and furthermore is in the eastern edge, a side less frequently captured because you have to wait until after full moon.
		The southernmost part of the crater wall has been submerged into the lava of the Mare, and although most of Gassendi's crater floor is lighter than Mare Humorum, the part adjacent to this break in the wall is the same colour, apparently formed of lava spilling in from the south.
		On the north-east wall of the crater is Porter, a somewhat smaller crater with a central mountain.

		This remarkable crater is one of the most interesting places in the world, for there is absolutely no record of such a mass, possibly an iron-headed comet, from outer space having come into collision with our earth.
		But everywhere the true craters are in evidence, even on the sea-beds, although they attain their greatest number and size on those parts of the moon -- covering sixty per cent of its visible surface -- which are distinctly mountainous in character and which constitute its most brilliant portions.
		The mighty craters have broken forth one after another, each rending its predecessor; and when their work was finished, a minor but yet tremendous outbreak occurred, and the face of the moon was gored and punctured with thousands of smaller craters.

		It forms an annular crater, the ramparts of which, rising to a height of 21,300 feet, seemed to be impassable.
		It assumes a slightly elliptical form, and is surrounded by an enclosure of annular ramparts, which on the east and west overlook the outer plain from a height of 15,000 feet.
		It is but a group of hollows, craters, circles, a network of crests; then, as far as the eye could see, a whole volcanic network cast upon this encrusted soil.

		Note how the craters and mountains become visible along the terminator, the dividing line between sunlight and darkness.
		Visible features in this shot of the lunar crater fields in its southern hemisphere are Tycho, the rayed crater, which you can see during a full moon with the naked eye, and Gassendi, a walled plain.
		This is why observing the Moon is so endlessly fascinating - in every observing session the lighting and shadows are never the same, and you can invariably count on some lunar surface feature taking on a brand new and startling appearance that you have never seen and may very well never see again.

		That Jesuit lun-nautics had preceded them was evident from the fact that 35 lunar craters had been named to honor Jesuits; and some of these craters are large enough to be seen from earth by naked (but sharp) eye.
		Some of the craters (arrow) are on the far side of the moon.
		When looking at the moon these craters can be located by eye when noting their position relative to the large Copernicus (O) crater with the distinctive "crater steaks" radiating from it like the stem of an orange.

	Giuseppe Biancani - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Biancani's map of the moon shows only stylized 15 craters, none of which are clearly recognizable or identifiable as actual craters.
		Giuseppe Biancani (in Latin, Josephus Blancanus) (1566-1624) was an Italian Jesuit astronomer, mathematician, and selenographer, after whom the Blancanus crater, on the Moon, is named.
		In a 1611 letter to Christoph Grienberger (after whom the Gruemberger crater is named), Biancani wrote of his certainty that there could not be any mountains on the moon.

		The crater Eratosthenes, with Copernicus on the horizon.
		He noticed that their borders were formed of steep declivities; they were long parallel ramparts, and with some small amount of imagination he might have admitted the existence of long lines of fortifications, raised by Selenite engineers.
		They are certainly anterior to the formation of craters and circles, for several have introduced themselves by breaking through their circular ramparts.
