Summary

Description
English: Apollo 16, AS-0839: Oblique picture of the ancient 138 km diameter crater Hipparchus on the moon. The crater is centered near the middle of the image and stretches over half the width of the frame, but is barely visible due to modification over its great age. Much of the modification is due to later impacts and also to radial grooves and ridges from the Imbrium impact known as "Imbrium sculpture." Near the horizon at left is Sinus Medii and the crater within Hipparchus above and right of center is Horrocks, 30 km in diameter. North is up.
