Summary

Description
English: Oblique view of Theophilus, on the moon, facing south.

This is approximately the same as a figure on page 94 of The Moon As Viewed by Lunar Orbiter, NASA Special Publication 200 (SP-200), 1970. Caption in the publication reads:

Oblique view, looking south, of the crater Theophilus and part of the crater Cyrillus (right background). Although the two craters are nearly identical in size and gross form, landforms within the younger Theophilus are relatively angular while those within the older Cyrillus are smooth and gentle, having been modified by erosion and redefinition and by blanketing by a thin layer of ejecta from Theophilus. Theophilus, 100 kilometers across, is at 10°20' S, 26°20' E.
