Description:
The Montes Apenninus (Apennine Mountains) is prominently featured in this image. It begins on the left with the crater Eratosthenes (diameter 38 miles) and extends several miles until a noticeable break (the "Alpine Valley"). The trio of craters below the mountain range are Archimedes (55 miles), Aristillus (36 miles), and Autolycus (25 miles).
Did one of the Apollo land close to the Alpine mountain rang?
Yes, Apollo 15 landed at the base of this mountain range. You can see it clearly in surface images taken during this mission.
Beautiful pictures…thanks for sharing!
