MOU Ages 13-16, Jan-Feb 2022: Identifying the Moon Craters

Please examine the webpage link provided above and study the types of craters and the complexities of the simple looking features on the Face of the Moon.
Participants should post their favourite crater and name it. Within the crater they need to count the pixels to measure the distance across the crater using the software JS9-4L.
Participants need to take a picture of a location present on the Earth which they think shall fit inside the crater to near perfection. With the image as a .jpeg, .fits etc. (ie, acceptable format by NASA), open the same in JS9-4L, equate the pixel size of the image of the location with that of the crater. Superimpose the two images with location/structure in the foreground and the crater in the background.
