Lunar Surface At Telescope
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Image was captured through a telescope using "lucky imaging". This astrophotography technique captures short-exposure frames or videos, extracting and combining the best frames with specialized software for a sharper, detailed final image during stable atmospheric conditions.) Tycho crater on the moon is seen through a telescope from L'Aquila, Italy, on January 22nd, 2024. Tycho is a prominent lunar impact crater located near the Moon's southern limb, known for its relatively recent formation around 108 million years ago and distinctive system of bright rays extending across the lunar surface. With a diameter of approximately 85 kilometers, Tycho's well-defined features, including a central peak, make it a notable and easily visible target for observers using telescopes.
