Following the Family Pasch

This high-resolution targeted image offers a close-up view of Pasch's hollows-ridden central peaks. Hollows have been found to form on and around central peaks, as well as on crater rims. Pasch crater was named recently in April 2012 after the Swedish painter, Ulrica Fredrica Pasch. She came from a family of artists, including her father, brother, and uncle.
