Moon's surface
Flying 1500 km over the Mare Imbrium, Crater Copernicus in the south, Crater Plato filled with lava, in the north. Bright crater Aristarchus is left in the Ocean of Storms, the mountains at the lower right side of the Mare Imbrium are the Montes Apenninus with the Hadley Rille, exploration area of Apollo 15. Clearly visible are the impact rays of Copernicus, moon material ejected by the impact of an asteroid.
