What a fascinating and educational image. It's also very interesting to compare it to the black & white image titled 'Lunar Farside' that is the APOD of 2011 April 9.

The key word here is one of the largest crater basin! :wink:
Should it be "one of very large crater, or one of the largest known craters"?

Yes...but the near side is much less dramatic: http://wms.lroc.asu.edu/lroc/global_pro ... elief_grid
