Hi all,

This is an 11 mosaic image of the crater Humboldt that lives in the
libration zone close to the eastern limb of the Moon.

I'm assuming this crater is typical of many, but the oblique view and
high resolution are showing morphology I've not seen before in any
other. Fascinating.

Chris, I hope you don't mind, but I was interested in seeing what a
colorized version of this image would look like, so I took the liberty of
tweeking it a bit in photoshop to see if I could enhance the contrast
using false color. Here is the result:
