		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.
		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.
		Both outside and inside of the crater wall may be seen magnificent examples of the landslip subsidence of its overloaded banks; these landslips form vast concentric segments of the outer and inner circumference of the great circular rampart, and doubtless belong to its era of formation.

	Heraclitus (crater)
		Heraclitus is a complex lunar crater that lies in the rugged southern highlands of the Moon.
		Licetus crater forms the northern end of the formation.
		The circular southwest end is the most intact section, forming a circular crater shape that is attached to the other two sections along the northeast rim.

		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.

		However, many of the smaller craters are of interest because of the relatively wide variation (for the moon) of colors and brightness in their ejecta.
		Licetus (47 x 50 miles9800') and Heraclitus (31 miles, 9500') have a valley between them 22 miles long with a straight ridge of unexplained origin.
		The prevailing thought is that a meteor came in from the east at a low (5°) angle, hit, and bounced, to create both craters, and shoot the fine ray material off to the west.

		Described in Rukl as a "ruined crater with central mountain range", Heraclitus is a strange rectangular structure stretching between two large craters (Licetus and Heraclitus D).
		It appears as though huge twin boulders had slid from one crater to the other, creating twin furrows, each wider than most normal craters.
		In the SE area of the crater, there was another, smaller, lighter colored dark spot, which was oval in shape, and stood out from the wall.

		The giant crater of Clavius is very conspicuous to the south, as two smaller craters within it rise up from its vast dark floor to catch sunlight, while its rim is illuminated.
		To the east of all-sunlit Maginus, the \”Mickey Mouse\” craters (Cuvier, Licetus, and Heraclides) show strong relief, with Licetus having slight shading on its east wall.
		The much larger craters of Archimedes and Plato also in the north hemisphere are well-illuminated; each has a thin crescent of darkness on the east sides within - short shadows from their east rim falling upon their floors.

	Observing The Sky » Moon: Day 7: “Irregular” Terminator
		At 75x, the lunar terminator is now at 5.5 degrees east longitude, to barely reveal crater Licetus (74.7 km) to the southwest of larger Maurolycus (114.2 km).
		A thick dark crescent shadow is about the east interior of this latter crater; it’s central peak is a bump between each fl horn.
		So, between these far northern and southern craters, the terminator appears much irregular due to extended shadowing by the Caucasus and Haemus Mountains at the west side of vast Mare Serenity, the depressed “lobes” of subtle Hipparchus and Albategnius, and the dark interiors of Faraday & Stofler.

		An old pair of twin elongated scrapes that connect LICETUS in the north to a grouping of smaller craters (sometimes listed as HERACLITUS D, among others) in the south.
		I’ve heard it described as “a ruined crater with a mountain range running down the center.” Irregardless of weather it was a double or a single crater it is one of the more distinctive sights on the moon.

		The lunar latitude and longitude are given for each feature along with the crater X, Y coordinates in terms of the moon's radius R. Accurate timing of these events provides useful data to determine the geometry of the umbra and hence the shape of the earth's upper atmosphere during this eclipse.
