| Impact Melt pit: Copernicus | |

| Name | Copernicus 23 |
| Lat. | 10.2067 |
| Long. | 339.8978 |
| Desc. | Small linear pit at the NW end of a larger elliptical depression. Exact bounds are hard to determine, as the south end is a very dark material (possibly a slope to inner floor?), and there are some small, very deep depressions just north of the inner pit. On the S end of a ~100m wide mound. Copernicus 14 is ~400m N, Copernicus 13 is ~1km SW, Copernicus X in ~300m W. Roughly in line with a large linear depression that starts ~1km SE. |
