Copernicus is one of the biggest craters on the moon, with a diameter of 93km. The depth of this crater is 3800m, whereas the central mountains on the
ground of Copernicus reach a height of approximately 1 to 1.2km. The crater shows nearly no signs of erosion, which leads to the conclusion, that it is
one of the youngest impact events on the moon‘s surface.
