Caption NASA:"Tycho Crater's Central Peak Complex casts a long, dark shadow near Local Sunrise in this spectacular Lunarscape. The dramatic oblique view was recorded on June 10, 2011, by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Shown in amazing detail, boulder strewn slopes and jagged shadows appear in the highest resolution version at 1,5 meters per pixel. The rugged Complex is about 15 Km wide, formed in uplift by the giant impact that created the well-known crater about 100 MYs ago. The Summit of its Central Peak reaches approx. 2 Km above the Floor".
