Description: Titled verso Tycho is 54 miles across and has walls rising 14,000 feet above the crater floor. This wide-angle view was taken from 120 miles altitude by Lunar Orbiter V. Solidified lava beds are seen as gray areas just outside the rim of Tycho that is towards the sun. Material exploded from the crater furrows the adjacent hills, some appearing as bright rays stretching for 2000 miles across the moon. 1
