Schrodinger basin, lunar map. Geologic map of the moon's Schrodinger basin, an impact crater located near the moon's south pole. The crater measures roughly 320 kilometres wide. The map combines topographic data from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (from the 2009 Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) with data from earlier Clementine and Lunar Prospector missions. Colours represent rock type. The peak ring is coloured brown, recent volcanic activity coloured red, cratering is yellow and plains material is coloured dark and light green.
