  • @RedTempz That is the central peak of a compound crater. Most large craters in the Solar System have them. That peak is caused by the body that got hit rebounding after the impact.

  • If you look at the bottom right most area there is a crater with a structure in it without comparison i cannot judge its size meaning i don't know if is a man made structure or some kind of debris, but it is obvious enough to cast a shadow when looking at it frame by frame

  • fantastic!

  • Thats a real badass camera, hehe. I liked it, shows the crates on the moon, and how does crates get there? By massive explosions, ofcourse!
