  Lansberg
is a lunar impact crater on the Mare Insularum.
This formation is not noticeably eroded, and there are no significant impact craters within the interior.
The crater is correctly spelled "Lansberg", but has frequently been written "Landsberg" instead.

The diameter of the eventual crater is typically 10 times that of the incoming meteoroid; the crater depth is about twice the meteoroid’s diameter.
By counting craters on a planet, moon, or asteroid and using the Moon to calibrate the numbers, an approximate age for the surface can be obtained.

 LPOD lunar photo of the day » WINDOW WITH A VIEW
Reinhold, filled with its own shadow, looks rougher and higher, but that is shadow magnification; Reinhold’s rim is only 800 m high and is actually a little smoother than that of its large neighbor.
It appears that the ejecta of Copernicus (larger) overlays the smaller crater of Reinhold.
The still smaller crater Reinhold B appears considerably older than either of the two larger craters and must have been modified by both impacts.

The ejecta blanket has overridden much of the original surface just outside the crater, and extends for hundreds of kilometers in a bright ray structure that is prominent at high sun angles.
July 14, 1997: The domes around Copernicus are showing well, along with all the other really spiffy detailed stuff (craterlets and tiny rilles) but my "new" observation for the night was mostly tonal ranges; the way the ejecta seems to have formed light and dark smatterings for such a great distance.
Reinhold has an amazing 2-step terraced wall, with a prominent ghost crater, Reinhold B, right next to it.

 Observing log for BAA
The floor of Herodotus was mostly shadow filled with the shadow of a prominent rim peak reaching across the crater floor to the sunlit west wall.
On the inside margin of the western side of the crater was a dark but not absolutely fl shadow, the rest of the crater appeared to be a featureless, moderately bright crescent.
The crater floor was variably shaded as well, being darker in the south than in the north.

 - Prologue
In the time that followed, the rain of meteorites continued, pulverizing the landscape into a wilderness of sharp-grained dust to a depth of several feet, the desolation being relieved only by the occasional outcrop or shattered boulder.
The outlines of the craters were slowly eroded away and stirred back into the sea of dust.
When the bombardment at last petered away, all that remained of the ridge was a rounded hummock to mark where the rims had intersected—a mound of dust and rock debris forty feet high and several hundred long.

The left side of the crater wall was a sliver of a shadowed crescent.
Several rays were visible extending Northward from the crater, with two bright rays being the most prominent northeast of Eratosthenes near Wallace (Rukl 21).
Reinhold (Rukl 31) was shadowed so that the illuminated portion formed a bright crescent which lit approximately half of the crater floor towards the wall on the right.

 A Solar Powered Station at a Lunar Pole
It appears that the Moon's South pole is located in the middle of a 45 km diameter crater and the North pole is on a hill on the rim of the crater Peary.
The south rim of crater Gioja for a North polar station and a rim/hill shown at 0° E, 82° S for the South are likely possibilities [MAP].
Methods might include burying part of the station, locating it in a crater that is always shaded, building a wall to shade the station or a shelter area, and building a barrier that could be erected on short notice.

Other domes lay west about the Crater Milichius and can be seen with a telescope.
Crater Kepler has spewed out ejecta in ALL directions, and any form and shape can happen when it all comes dropping down; some masses falling upon others causing odd clusters, which SEEN from an angle can LOOK like an artificial construction.

Nothing seen of craters Copernicus and Clavius anymore, but deep Scheiner is a formidable fl pit with a brightly illuminated east rim.
At this time, the terminator has not quite reached to Promontorium Laplace to the north, and the contrasty semi-circle of the Jura Mountains surrounds Sinus Iridum: sunlit on the east interior and deeply shadowed on the west side within.
Crater Bianchini neatly divides the light and dark in the middle of this semi-circular wall.

 Matt's Winter Break - Summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro
Upon summiting, Reinhold called it the most dangerous route he had ever done, which is saying a lot for someone that used to free solo in the Dolomites in Italy and has climbed all 14 of the 8000 meter peaks.
We were both pretty tired at the end, but we got to enjoy some spectacular views of the Shira Plateau (which is the remaining crater after one of the smaller volcanoes on the west side of Kilimanjaro erupted around 350,000 years ago).
We arrived at the summit sign with a few other teams, where we patiently waited in line to get a photo or two taken before you were too cold to hold your camera or worse yet, it stopped working (this happened to several teams).
