Bond-Mayer Crater

An image of craters Bond - after an American Astronomer - (large feature marked by two smaller crater on left of image) and Mayer - after a Czech Astronomer (large isloated crater on lower right) located in Northern Central Region of the Moon, near Mare Frigoris. The image is a composite of 5 AMIE images acquired on 5/6 February 2006, from altitudes ranging between 2685 (bottom of the composite) and 2709 Km (top). Each individual snapshot, taken with the AMIE clear filter, is a square of side about 135 Km. The whole composite covers approximately 270 Km. The outer rim of the original Bond Crater has been eroded and reshaped, and now it basically consists of an outline of hills and mounts.
The interior floor is relatively flat in comparison with the rim region, although there are sections of rough terrain near the northern rim. In the centre of the walled plain is a rille that runs toward East.
To the southeast of this formation is Bond-B, a circular, simple bowl-shaped crater.
