Craters

These three wonderful videos of Moon's south craters, are the clearest from the area so far. Atmospheric fluctuations have occasionally blurred the image.

ASTRONOMIC GEOLOGY: South craters of the Moon-Southern lunar Hemisphere features
Southern hemisphere of the Moon is inrough terrain, heavily crateredand with mountainous areas.
At the poles, the sun is always at small angles, so this is creating a unique environment, but also some difficulties in interpreting the geological region.
The southern hemisphere of the Moon craters are very different in size, appearance and how they were formed by impactsin the past.

In the images are seen two large craters at the lunar south pole. These are Boussingault of 131 km and 3.2 km depth, and Helmholtz which is 94 km diameter but its depth is still unknown. Another crater which is covered in darkness here, but close to the terminal and the Moon as seen from Earth, is Neumayer 76 km in diameter.

Near the great lunar crater Petavius ​​with diameter of 177 kmare smaller ones like Wrottesley (57 km), Hase (83km), Palitzsch (41 km), and Vallis Palitzsch(110 km), Legendre (79km), which is in darkness in these photos, and Snellius(83 km). North of Petavius ​​is Mare Fecunditatis.

Picture is for guidance and I made ​​it on November 4, 2010, which is now a year and a month.
Nearch and Hagecius are craters situated on the south side of the Moon.

When I see these chain craters which diminishes in size, I wonder if they havea single source, a singlebody that disintegrated before touching the lunar surface.
