  2. Pastel sketches of #LunarCrater #Clavius 6th Feb '25 at 16:58 & 19:44UT. The #EyesOfClavius looked stunning! Sketched from photos with white pastel on black paper. 2hrs 45min later the sunlight had begun to illuminate the crater floor #AstronomySketching #MoonSketching #MoonArt #SpaceArt

    Thanks for bringing those features to attention. I wasn't aware of them. I have a number of photos of the moon I've taken over the years and looked through them to see if I happened to have picked up those features.

    Alas, as your article states, these are transient views that are only visible for perhaps a few hours, so sadly I didn't happen to capture most of them. But I captured one. The eyes of #Clavius.
