Description
File:HipparchusCrater.jpg|thumb|left|Hipparchus seen by Apollo 16Apollo 16This feature is an ancient crater that has been subject to considerable modification due to subsequent impacts. The western rim of Hipparchus has been all but worn away from impact erosion, and only low hills and rises in the surface remain to outline the feature. The wall to the east is somewhat more intact, but it too is heavily worn. A pair of deep clefts lie in the western wall. These parallel a sets of scars running through the south-central highlands. The crater floor has been partially resurfaced by basaltic lava flow. The southwest part of the floor, however, is slightly raised and much more rugged than the remainder. A few small rises and the raised partial rim of a flooded crater are all that remain of a central massif. Gaps in the northwest rim of Hipparchus form valleys that connect with the mare to the northwest. A rille named Rima Réaumur runs from this site to the outer wall of Réaumur.Satellite craters

File:Micrographia or some 9g54xj51s gm80hw18z dl full size rotated.jpg | thumb | right | Robert HookeRobert Hooke In October 1664, Robert Hooke used a 36-foot telescope to make a detailed drawing of the single crater Hipparchus and surrounding terrain, which he published as a plate in his Micrographia (1665).BOOK, Hooke, Robert, Micrographia : or, Some physiological descriptions of minute bodies made by magnifying glasses. With observations and inquiries thereupon, 1665, Allestry, J. & Martyn, J., London, 242, Plate 38,weblink 17 July 2019, His drawing contained an abundance of detail, and can be considered the first high-definition illustration of an individual lunar feature. Hooke argued that its features were not fixed, but were a product of ongoing physical forces. He suggested two possible models to explain lunar crater formation: projectile bombardment from space and subterranean lunar vulcanism. Less accurately, he speculated that the crater might contain "verdant pastures" and "Vegetables analogous to our Grass, Shrubs, and Treesâ.JOURNAL, Chapman, Allan, 'Micrographia' on the Moon, Astronomy & Geophysics, 22 September 2015, 56, 5, 5.23â5.29, 10.1093/astrogeo/atv169, free,Hipparchus in fiction
