LROC NAC close-up view of the boundary between mare and highland material in Tsiolkovskiy crater. Instead of an obvious boundary between units, the change from highlands to mare is gradational in a close-up view.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: LROC NAC close-up view of the boundary between mare and highland material in Tsiolkovskiy crater. Instead of an obvious boundary between units, the change from highlands to mare is gradational in a close-up view. The degraded crater (center) has served as a slope trap for high-reflectance material that originated from the basin wall (not visible in this image). LROC NAC M159100547R, image width is 600 m [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
