About this image

Einstein crater lies on the western limb of the Moon. It is challenging to observe unless the libration is favourable- alas this was not the case, but I decided to make a drawing of the feature anyway! The crater inside is called Einstein A and the entire formation is about 181km in diameter. Nearby are the craters Bohr, Vasco da Gama and Dalton.
