as12-51-7466.jpgAS 12-51-7466 - Flying over Theophilus Crater (1)55 visiteNotes: Theophilus is a relatively young crater similar in size but slightly older than Copernicus. It lies on the eastern edge of the Kant Plateau, an elevated area in the Central Highlands along the North-Western margin of Mare Nectaris.
Like Copernicus and Aristarchus, Theophilus has ruggedly terraced walls and a complex central peak protruding through a level floor.
Smooth-surfaced material is present in "pools" at various levels on the terraces, on parts of the crater floor, and on the ejecta that blanket the North side of the Crater. As one alternative, the pools may have been emplaced as fluid lava.
