☄️ Copernicus (lunar crater)

Copernicus Crater is a lunar impact crater located in eastern Oceanus Procellarum. Thomas Webb describes it as "one of the grandest craters" with "a central mountain" and "a noble ring composed not only of terraces, but distinct heights separated by ravines". It was named after the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. It typifies craters that formed during the Copernican period in that it has a prominent ray system.
