@konstructivizm The structure in the centre of the crater looks like Marvin the Martian has crashed his space scooter ... Marvin is on the left and upside down.
The Copernicus crater is one of the most impressive features on the lunar surface. Located in the Oceanus Stormi, it is clearly visible even with an amateur telescope.
The crater is approximately 93 km in diameter, and its characteristic terraced walls and bright ray system make it a true "star" of the lunar landscape.

Alexandra Pablos, 35, became a viral subject in late 2025 following the release of booking photos from her arrest in Orange County, Florida. On December 7, 2025, she was taken into custody on charges including tampering with physical evidence and public misconduct.
In Alaska, nature sculpted this lone tree into a frozen wave at sunrise ❄️🌬️🌅
Relentless wind, drifting snow, and rime ice stacked layer by layer until the branches looked like feathers made of frost.
That soft golden glow is the sun catching every icy strand, turning the whole scene into a winter sculpture for a few brief moments.
Bent by the storm, but still standing. Still reaching.
James Earl Jones, the prolific film, TV and theater actor whose resonant, unmistakable baritone was most widely known as the voice of “Star Wars” villain Darth Vader, died Monday. He was 93.

Amandla Stenberg represents today's average actor. Self entitled, pompous and disconnected from reality. If she really believes The Acolyte was cancelled "due to the alt-right" she's also dumb and shouldn't be working in entertainment.
@MarkHamill Big enough to be seen to be a victim, cry baby trump milking the alleged assassination attempt and showing off his alleged wound.
I still think it was all staged by trump insiders.
How Japanese have produced wood for 700 years, without cutting down trees.
Daisugi is an ancient Japanese forestry technique developed in the 14th century originally used by people living in the Kitayama region, because the territory was extremely poor in saplings.
They planted cedars pruned in a special way to produce shoots that eventually would become perfect, straight, knot-free lumbers.
The shoots are gently pruned by hand every two years leaving only the top boughs, allowing them to grow straight. Harvesting takes 20 years and old 'tree stock' can grow up to a hundred shoots at a time.
There was actually another reason why the technique was developed: fashion. In the 14th century, a linear, stylized form of architecture known as sukiya-zukuri (数寄屋造り) became popular, and every prominent samurai or nobleman wanted a house built in this way.
There were simply not enough raw materials available to keep up with demand, so daisugi was developed to produce more wood in a shorter time.
The wood produced with this technique has also impressive qualities: it's 140% more flexible than standard cedar and 200% denser and stronger. And, it's extremely durable.
