![]() The moon will reach its full phase on Friday, May 5 at 1:34 p.m. Wednesday, May 3: Bright moon passes Spica (evening) Use high magnification to look around Copernicus for small craters with bright floors and black haloes - impacts through Copernicus' white ejecta that excavated dark Oceanus Procellarum basalt and even deeper highlands anorthosite. Starting several nights before the moon reaches its full phase, Copernicus exhibits heavily terraced edges (due to slumping), an extensive ejecta blanket outside the crater's rim, a complex central peak, and both smooth and rough terrain on the crater's floor.Īround the full moon, Copernicus' ray system, extending 500 miles (800 km) in all directions, becomes prominent. This 800 million-year-old impact scar is visible with unaided eyes and binoculars - but telescope views will reveal many more interesting aspects of lunar geology. The prominent crater Copernicus is located in eastern Oceanus Procellarum - due south of Mare Imbrium and slightly northwest of the moon's center.
