The pit is located at 8.3355°N, 33.222°E on the moon's surface. Radar imaging indicated that the pit's funnel is roughly 20 meters deep, while the inner pit has a depth of approximately 105 meters. The diameter of the pit's funnel was between 140 and 146 meters long while the diameter of the inner pit is 88–100 meters long.
Pit craters are found on Mercury, Venus, [2] [3] Earth, Mars, [4] and the Moon. [5] Pit craters are often found in a series of aligned or offset chains and in these cases, the features is called a pit crater chain. Pit crater chains are distinguished from catenae or crater chains by their origin.
The crater Webb, as seen from Lunar Orbiter 1. Several smaller craters can be seen in and around Webb. Side view of the crater Moltke taken from Apollo 10. Lunar craters are impact craters on Earth's Moon. The Moon's surface has many craters, all of which were formed by impacts.
The large and relatively young lunar impact crater Tycho taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. [1]This is a list of named lunar craters.The large majority of these features are impact craters.
The pit was actually found not far from where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon to become the first ever humans on its surface, some 55 years ago. They spent less than a day on the ...
The canyons are straight-line scars on the lunar surface, extending outward from a large and round impact crater, with smaller craters from unrelated impacts also in the vicinity.

On February 20, 1965, the Ranger 8 spacecraft was deliberately crashed into the Mare Tranquillitatis at after successfully transmitting 7,137 close-range photographs of the Moon in the final 23 minutes of its
