This smiling jack-o'-lantern shaped crater is Gauss W. Formed by volcanic activity and cratering, check out this festive featured image! Gauss W Crater (34.62° S, 80.82° E) is 18.5 km across; NAC controlled mosaic from images M1214916557LR, M1214923592LR, and M1214930628LR [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 29 Oct 2020 Farside Impact: Crookes Crater During the formation of Crookes crater (48 km diameter, 10.39° S, 194.92° E), its central peak rebounded after the extreme compression from the high-speed impactor, and a small sea of impact melt eventually solidified on the crater floor, resulting in this beautiful rocky landscape. Controlled mosaic created from NAC images M1260022964, M1260029996, and M1260037029 [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].

Published on 17 Aug 2020 Apennine Bench Formation: A Window into Ancient Volcanism LROC Wide Angle Camera (WAC) 100 m/px mosaic with 6 colorized Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) of the Apennine Bench Formation (centered near 26° N, 356° E - here in Quickmap), an enigmatic light plains unit located on the central lunar nearside, west of the Apennine Mountains and the Apollo 15 landing site at Hadley Rille [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 29 Jun 2020 A Rain of Rock A rain of rock carved these craters west of Vavilov crater. The ground here, which is elevated relative to the surrounding terrain, intersected with rock and other ejected debris excavated during the formation of Vavilov crater. The result was a tight cluster of irregular and V-shaped secondary craters about 2 to 2.5 km in diameter. NAC anaglyph M182123981_M182109685 [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
