Craters in the Lunar Highlands near Mare Nubium (1)

These first two images show cratered regions near the moon's Mare Nubium Region, as photographed by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's LROC instrument. Impact craters feature prominently in both images. Older craters have softened edges, while younger craters appear crisp.
Each image shows a region 1400 meters (0,87 miles) wide, and features as small as 3 meters (9,8 feet) wide can be discerned. The bottoms of both images face Lunar North.
