The 3-D Moon Peaks

Some of the larger craters on the Moon have central peaks. Central peaks are thought to be due to rebound from stresses released after crater formation. Tsiolkovsky, the lunar far-side crater shown here, is 115miles (185km) in diameter. Basaltic lava has flooded the crater's floor giving it a dark smooth appearance. Material from landslides can be seen around the edge of the floor.
