This mottled landscape showing the impact crater Tycho is among the most violent-looking places on our Moon. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases ...

Data collected by Orbiter V when it landed on the Moon in 1967 provide information about the history of the crater Tycho. Volcanic eruptions seem to have been involved in the crater's development.

Without doubt, the most impressive ray crater that we can see from Earth is Tycho. The crater itself ... close to when the Moon is full, but there are some good dark ones visible too.
