Hello List,

After repeatedly scrutinizing the available crater pictures of the
Carancas crater and trying to find out what is so exciting about
it, I've come to the conclusion that it looks pretty much like the
terraced walls of several lunar craters - for example: Tycho or
Copernicus.

While it would be (or: would have been) extremely important to
retrieve the main mass at the bottom of the crater as quickly as
possible, it may also be a serious mistake not to document, study
and examine each and every detail of this "crater-forming" event!


Carancassically,

Bernd
