Platonic Love

If someone would fly me to the moon, I’d land here. With its smooth volcanic floor peppered with tiny pockmarks that are oh-so-hard to see through a telescope… Plato is at the top of my list of the moon’s most stunning craters. Its largest craterlets are more than a mile across… a perfect size for jogging around. Are you as smooth in person as you look from earth? I fear not. 

Wander around this large image to appreciate beautiful Plato in its lunar neighborhood.
