ID 165021849 © 15036giovannianselmi | Megapixl.com

Extraordinary image of one of the most famous multi-center lunar basins. The richness of the details was obtained by the author adding dozens of images taken from different lunar probes, then treated with special numerical filters Located along the Moon’s southwestern limb — the left-hand edge as seen from Earth — Orientale is the largest and best-preserved example of what’s known as a “multi-ring basin The structure, with the flat plain of the mare in the center, is about 900 kilometres across and was formed by the impact of an asteroid-sized object, possibly 64 km in diameter and travelling at 15 km/s. The collision caused ripples in the lunar crust, resulting in the three concentric circular features.
