PostHeaderIcon Anaxagoras Crater

This image from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter shows the floor of the moon’s Anaxagoras crater, including a portion of the crater’s anorthositic central uplift. The boulders perched on ridges are eroding out of densely fractured bedrock. This image was taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, or LROC, which consists of a pair of narrow-angle cameras and a single wide-angle camera. The mission is expected to return over 70 terabytes of image data. Image Credit: NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University
