The Moon - Crater Goldschmidt - 2020-09-05 0847 UTC
Crater Goldschmidt is an example of a walled plain, which is a shallow crater that features a flooded floor, and heavily eroded crater wall. This crater is 113 km wide and 2 km deep.
As testament to its age, it is floor is heavily cratered, and its western wall is overlapped by the much younger crater Anaxagoras, whose rays can be seen traversing Goldschmidt's floor. In the foreground (lower right corner) is Epigenes, another ancient and shallow crater.
For me, the craters in this photo often pop out as bumps, and no matter how I think about them, I can't "pop" them back in.
