Summary

Description
English: Oblique view of Seleucus, on the moon, while it was at the sunrise terminator. Facing south.

In Apollo Over the Moon: A View from Orbit (online version) (NASA SP-362, 1978), the caption of Figure 31, which is similar to the source image of this file, mentions Seleucus as follows:

The crater Seleucus, 42 km in diameter, is shown in sunrise along the right (west) edge of the frame. The narrowness of its rim and the abrupt contact between its raised rim and the surrounding mare prove that the final mare flooding occurred after the crater was formed. In other words, the crater predates at least the youngest mare basalts in this area.
