Theophilius Crater
| |||||||||||||||
| Theophilius is the large 100 km wide crater to the left in the image. The crater floor lies in complete shadow, and the temperature in the dark is around -170 degrees celsius. Theophilius is clearly a more recent impact than the older similar sized Cyrillus crater above. Also the rim of Theophilius is better preserved and has not been battered with as many small impacts. | |||||||||||||||
