This NAC image features the complex crater Copley, the bright crater located just slightly northwest of the center of this image. It's named after John Singleton Copley, an American painter known for portrait paintings of important figures in colonial New England. Copley features a bright central peak and neighbors the larger crater Carducci, which is positioned just to the west of this image.
