The broken peaks in the center rise 8,000 feet. The explorers climb easily in heavy suits because of the moon's small gravitational pull.’

‘CLIMBING THE RIM of Theophilus, the rocket explorers look down on the crater floor from the escarpment at upper left. The opposite wall of the crater is 64 miles away and 18,000 feet high. ➡️

‘DESCENDING TO 30 MILES, the rocket passes over #Aristarchus, the moon's brightest crater. Fissure at the top is known on lunar maps as Schroeter's Canyon.’
