http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_llbj9trfTx1qzt1kzo1_500.jpg<p>I just took this photo. Although the picture is pretty mundane, I observed something I have never seen before: The perfectly round circle on the bottom of the moon (bottom right hand corner).<p>At first I thought it was a crater, but it looks too perfect. What could it be?<p>What are the shiny dots all over the moon?
Nice photo. All the things you ask about are craters. The large one is Tycho.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tycho_(crater)" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tycho_(crater)</a>
