About this image

Fra Mauro (diameter 95 km) is an ancient crater that was severely damaged on the west side by a splash of ejecta from the Imbrium impact to the north. The crater Bonpland below it was also affected. The Apollo 14 mission landed in the highlands to the north of Fra Mauro, to sample material from the ejecta.
