Archimedes in High Relief

Archimedes Crater
Archimedes Crater
By Barry Chase

This drawing of Archimedes Crater is Barry Chase’s second Lunar sketch. The Lunar terminator’s close proximity provides strong, shadowed relief to the crater’s rim and surrounding terrain. Archimedes is 83 km in diameter, 2.1 km deep, and is the largest crater in Mare Imbrium. It does not possess a central peak, but does sport a 30 km long triangular promontory extending from its southeast rim.
