Oblique view of the Moon's Tycho Crater


Another beauty of nature.   The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera captured this view of the central peak (and most of the rim) -- that was not supposed to sound sexual -- of the Moon's most prominent crater, the rayed splendor Tycho.   Click on it to see it much bigger and substantially more impressive.

OK, that was not supposed to sound sexual either.
