southern? edit

Latest comment: 11 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

At this latitude the crater interior receives little sunlight, and parts of the southern floor remain permanently cloaked in shadow.

"southern floor" could be rephrased for better clarity. I assume it means "the southern part of the crater floor"? —Tamfang (talk) 02:00, 15 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yes, that is what was intended; the region of the floor most distant from the direction of the north lunar pole and hence the most shaded by the rim. Thanks. Regards, RJH (talk) 18:48, 15 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
