well as its arcuate range of central peaks, are particularly well shown in this view. The walls and parts of the crater floor are extremely rough and cracked, a characteristic feature of other young impact craters of this size range, such as Tycho and Copernicus. The rough deposits in the floor are probably made up largely of shockmelted material formed at the time of the impact. The inner, rougher portions of the rim show a series of channels, lobate flows, and smooth puddlelike deposits that may represent shock-melted material deposited on the crater rim. The outer, smoother portions show the rhomboidal pattern characteristic of crater ejecta blankets.-J.W.H.

For many years before the Apollo missions, Earth-based viewers had reported telescopic sightings of transient events centered on Aristarchus. These brief, subtle changes in color or in sharpness of appearance have been suggested as evidence for volcanic activity or the venting of gases from the lunar interior. The sightings are controversial, but Aristarchus remains a center of interest. -M.C.M. 525: 659: 259: 99: 297: 667:"}},"text\/plain":{"en":{"":"determination method"}}},"{\"value\":{\"entity-type\":\"item\",\"numeric-id\":13414952,\"id\":\"Q13414952\"},\"type\":\"wikibase-entityid\"}":{"text\/html":{"en":{"P459":" 545:"}},"text\/plain":{"en":{"":"determination method"}}},"{\"value\":{\"entity-type\":\"item\",\"numeric-id\":60671452,\"id\":\"Q60671452\"},\"type\":\"wikibase-entityid\"}":{"text\/html":{"en":{"P459":" 541:"}},"text\/plain":{"en":{"P1001":"United States of America"}}},"{\"value\":{\"entity-type\":\"property\",\"numeric-id\":459,\"id\":\"P459\"},\"type\":\"wikibase-entityid\"}":{"text\/html":{"en":{"":" 625:"}},"text\/plain":{"en":{"":"media type"}}},"{\"value\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"type\":\"string\"}":{"text\/html":{"en":{"P1163":"image\/jpeg"}},"text\/plain":{"en":{"P1163":"image\/jpeg"}}}}": --> 730:"}},"text\/plain":{"en":{"":"data size"}}},"{\"value\":{\"amount\":\"+605263\",\"unit\":\"http:\\\/\\\/www.wikidata.org\\\/entity\\\/Q8799\"},\"type\":\"quantity\"}":{"text\/html":{"en":{"P3575":"605,263 537:"}},"text\/plain":{"en":{"":"applies to jurisdiction"}}},"{\"value\":{\"entity-type\":\"item\",\"numeric-id\":30,\"id\":\"Q30\"},\"type\":\"wikibase-entityid\"}":{"text\/html":{"en":{"P1001":" 529:"}},"text\/plain":{"en":{"":"copyright status"}}},"{\"value\":{\"entity-type\":\"item\",\"numeric-id\":19652,\"id\":\"Q19652\"},\"type\":\"wikibase-entityid\"}":{"text\/html":{"en":{"P6216":" 533:"}},"text\/plain":{"en":{"P6216":"public domain"}}},"{\"value\":{\"entity-type\":\"property\",\"numeric-id\":1001,\"id\":\"P1001\"},\"type\":\"wikibase-entityid\"}":{"text\/html":{"en":{"":" 775:"}},"text\/plain":{"en":{"":"height"}}},"{\"value\":{\"amount\":\"+1066\",\"unit\":\"http:\\\/\\\/www.wikidata.org\\\/entity\\\/Q355198\"},\"type\":\"quantity\"}":{"text\/html":{"en":{"P2048":"1,066 820:"}},"text\/plain":{"en":{"":"width"}}},"{\"value\":{\"amount\":\"+1437\",\"unit\":\"http:\\\/\\\/www.wikidata.org\\\/entity\\\/Q355198\"},\"type\":\"quantity\"}":{"text\/html":{"en":{"P2049":"1,437 816: 903: 175:
