	Clavius (crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Clavius is one of the largest crater formations on the Moon, and it is the third largest crater on the visible near side.
		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.
		Notable nearby craters include Scheiner to the west; Blancanus to the southwest; Maginus in the northeast, and Longomontanus to the northwest.

	Rutherfurd (crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rutherfurd is a lunar impact crater located entirely within the southern rim of the much larger Clavius crater.
		Rutherfurd forms the larger member in an arcing chain of craters of decreasing size that curve across the floor of Clavius crater.
		Rutherfurd crater is somewhat oval in shape, with the long axis oriented approximately in a north-south direction.

		He produced a classification scheme of stars based on their spectra that turned out to be similar to that of Italian astronomer Angelo Secchi.
		Rutherfurd was born in Morrisania, New York, and studied at Williams College, Massachusetts.
		From 1858 Rutherfurd produced many photographs that were widely admired of the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, the Sun, and stars down to the fifth magnitude.

		Rutherfurd devised and described the mode of constructing the prisms used, and also a simple method of simultaneous adjustments of a battery of prisms for the angle of least deviation.
		Rutherfurd, after much study and experiments, devised and constructed an automatic engine by which these gratings are ruled with great accuracy upon glass and speculum metal and have largely displaced prisms in the work of students of spectral analysis; with one of these gratings Mr.
		Rutherfurd produced and distributed, in 1876, a photograph of the solar spectrum on a large scale, which still remains unequalled.

		When lighting conditions are right, the craterís central peak cast dramatic shadows onto the terraces inside the crater.
		Craters of this size are called walled plains and as typical for these ancient structures, the floor of Clavius is peppered with more recent craters.
		The largest of these craters, Porter and Rutherfurd are both almost 35 miles in diameter and are impressive in their own right.

		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.

		I have very often observed this curious region of the lunar world, and I have made a large number of drawings, of which the most complete are those of July 31, 1873; August 1, October 29, November 27 of the same year; and April 24, 1874.
		The assiduous observation of a great number of other lunar points, notably of the two twin craters of Messier, of the white hillock Linne, of the streaks which cross the arena of the great dark ampitheatre of Plato, lead us to admit the probability, if not the certainty, of actual variations.
		To deny these new deductions it would be necessary to admit that all observers of the moon, well known for the care which they have taken in their studies, and for the precision which they have always attained, have seen so badly every time that we do not understand the observed facts.

		Clavius is one of the largest craters or walled plains on the Moon.
		It is a Nectarian aged crater that is sculptured by ejecta of younger craters and impact basins.
		Thereby the crater changes from easily recognisable because of its size and mighty shadows to hard to find due to the brilliant ejecta blanket of Tycho.

		While I found the novel to be lacklustre, and the movie to be even more of a crashing snooze, the view of the nine-day-old Clavius through an eyepiece on 15 July was a sight to remember.
		What caught my attention was the stunning shadow play along the basin's rough eastern wall, and among the "lesser" craters that interrupt opposite ends of the eastern wall — Rutherfurd (48x54 km) and Porter (52 km) — and among the chain of even smaller impacts that dot Clavius' relatively smooth floor.
		The two prominent craters at left are Aristoteles (top) and Eudoxus.
