Severely compressed (for fast Internet loading) image of Petavius with labels. The crater Petavius is 188 kilometers in diameter.
To bring out finer detail more clearly, I enhanced the contrast of the picture of Petavius on the right.
The slight color change also shows color differences on the crater floor of Petavius more clearly (on the right).
