The Moon - Crater Byrgius A - 2020-09-06 0521 UTC
Byrgius A is a bright, young, and rayed crater located on the eastern rim its parent crater Byrgius near the western limb of the Moon. Its sharp, bright features contrast with the ancient and worn parent crater, which is not readily visible in this image due to the Sun being high overhead. This is an example of how bright features tend to show better while shallow features can be barely visible when the Sun angle is high. Montes Rook, the eastern rim of Mare Orientale, can be seen on the horizon.
