Clavius (above)
by CHARLES GENOVESE
The huge walled plain Clavius spans some 225 kilometers (140
miles) in the Moons rugged southern highlands. It includes
many challenging features for telescopes of all sizes. Clavius is
particularly dramatic as the sunrise terminator sweeps over
the region in the days following first-quarter Moon.
Swirls of dust reflect orange light from brilliant Antares (bottom left) and blue light from several hot, young stars including the triple Rho Ophiuchi (top center) to create one of the
most colorful photographic vistas in the heavens. The globular star cluster M4 at lower right is an easy target for binocular users.
