Better seeing than expected tonight. So the crop shot shows the large crater Copernicus. Experts think it was created 800 million years ago, it’s 96km in diameter. #Moon phase is 80.5% Waxing. Shot as a single frame #sonya7riii using an #800mm telephoto lens. #Moon #luna

If you’re a school student or teacher in the UK and want your class to do a real science research project with a scientist, check out the #ORBYTS project. More info in the thread below 👇 and here: orbyts.org
