IWLOP #089 - Timocharis
Prominent crater located near the middle of Mare Imbrium.
Location: 29.0 N 13.0 W Origin: Impact Size: 34 km Rukl: 21 Type: Complex Crater (CC)
Objects: Timorcharis, Feuillée, Beer, Heinrich, Dorsum Higazy, Dorsum Grabeau, Landsteiner
Others Identified: Archimedes, Bancroft, MacMillan, Montes Archimedes, Wallace
Observation 1: R1: Floor of Timocharis was completely in shadow during this session; couldn't see any of the floor. C1: Dorsum Higazy seemed to begin near Heinrich and curve around Timocharis until it approached Dorsum Grabeau. |
Observation 2: R1: Ejecta field around the crater but most of spray appeared to head towards Archimedes, almost reaching Feuillée and Beer. Only the east rim created a shadow on the east wall. While the actual floor was small, walls were thick and the west wall was ridged. The crater floor was completely visible, perhaps the dark point/shadow was evidence of a central peak. |
