Basalts, swirls, and hummocky floored craters all populate the floor of Aitken crater. Mare basalts lapped up against the south half of the central peak (center of image), burying much of the original floor.

Summary

Description
English: Basalts, swirls, and hummocky floored craters all populate the floor of Aitken crater. Mare basalts lapped up against the south half of the central peak (center of image), burying much of the original floor. The swirls can be seen just west of the central peak as bright and dark mottling, their origin remains a mystery. Arrow indicates location of today's featured image; LROC WAC mosaic, image width ~70 km [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
