PRE ORDER FOR END OF MAY 2019. Copernicusis alunarimpact craterlocated in eastern Oceanus Procellarum. It was named after the astronomerNicolaus Copernicus. It typifies craters that formed during theCopernican periodin that it has a prominentray system. Copernicus is visible usingbinoculars, and is located slightly northwest of the center of the Moon’s Earth-facing hemisphere. South of the crater is theMare Insularum, and to the south-south west is the craterReinhold. North of Copernicus are the Montes Carpatus, which lie at the south edge ofMare Imbrium. West of Copernicus is a group of dispersed lunar hills. Due to its relative youth, the crater has remained in a relatively pristine shape since it formed. The circular rim has a discernible hexagonal form, with aterracedinner wall and a 30km wide, slopingrampartthat descends nearly a kilometer to the surroundingmare. There are three distinct terraces visible, and arc-shapedlandslidesdue to slumping of the inner wall as the crater debris subsided. Most likely due to its recent formation, the crater floor has not been flooded bylava. The terrain along the bottom is hilly in the southern half while the north is relatively smooth. The central peaks consist of three isolated mountainous rises climbing as high as 1.2km above the floor. These peaks are separated from each other by valleys, and they form a rough line along an east-west axis. Infrared observations of these peaks during the 1980s determined that they were primarily composed of themaficform ofolivine. 999 Weight: 1 Oz – 31.1g Diameter: 38.61 mm Mintage: 666 Pcs Worldwide Finish: ANTIQUE FINISH AND HIGH RELIEF Certificate COA: Yes Box: Yes.
