☄️ Bailly (crater)

Antarctica · Antarctica · 66.82°S, 68.90°W

Bailly is an enormous lunar impact crater that is located near the south-west limb of the Moon. It is the largest walled plain on the visible face of the Moon, spanning a diameter of 300 km. The oblique viewing angle gives the crater a foreshortened appearance, and the location near the limb can limit visibility due to libration. The most favorable time for viewing this feature is near the full moon when the terminator is crossing the crater wall.
