COPERNICUS

The crater Copernicus is undoubtedly one of the best known and most typical of lunar formations; it is also the center of a very prominent system of bright rays that can be traced across the surface of Mare Imbrium (see maps 20 and 21). To the west of Copernicus is a group of scattered solitary hills that rise to a height of several hundred meters.
