MOON TOUR HELL

Finding this fascinating crater isnt as hard as its name suggests...

The lunar landscape down towards and around its south pole is wild, craggy and rugged; a raw, bare-rock wilderness of walled plains, huge craters and towering mountains all blasted out by a brutal asteroid bombardment many millennia ago.

Down in the southern lunar highlands there are too many craters to count: they overlap and overlay each other. The most ancient, large craters have smaller, younger craters inside them, and many of those smaller craters have even smaller, even younger craters inside them.

Exploring this cluttered landscape through a telescope is both thrilling and bewildering - there's just so much to see! Naturally, the huge impact craters of Clavius, Maginus and Tycho draw the eye, but a little further to their north and east lies a much smaller crater with a short but intriguing name that few people know about, and even fewer have ever taken a good look at while touring the huge features around it.
