The one who reminds me most of me has the following crater named for him... http://www.giordanobruno.info/moon.htm And you can learn more about this true wildman of science here... http://www.theharbinger.org/xvi/971111/birx.html -- happy days and... starry starry nights!

The backside of the Moon is thought to be higher in elevation that the side we see. This means the Moon's crust is thicker on the backside. When the first photos were returned, scientists were surprised that the backside didn't have dark maria like the front side and had a brighter appearance. They think that the plateau is too high for lava to have pushed up and filled in after crater causing collisions as it has on the front side. Double-A |
