ARISTILLUS
The eastern edge of Mare Imbrium is one of the most interesting parts of the lunar surface. The lunar Alps with their well-known valley, the solitary mountain Piton, and the group of three craters Archimedes, Autolycus, and Aristillus are magnificent objects for telescopic observation. Luna 2 crash-landed close to the crater Autolycus.
