Copernicus and vicinity
This image shows the Copernicus region at a fairly low sun angle, including some interesting volcanic domes to the west of Copernicus, dark pyroclastic deposits to the east, and an extensive ray system. The mountains immediately northwest of Copernicus are the Montes Carpatus, while the chain to the northeast is Montes Apenninus. The Apollo 15 landing site is located along the western side of this range near the top of the image. Other noteworthy craters include Archimedes near the top, and Ptolemaeus near the bottom.
