I hate when a Terminator moons you.

If there were female Terminators it wouldn’t be horrible.
Sarah Connor in her prime would be really nice.

I prefer shooting lunar images that include the terminator for contrast etc.

Crater Copernicus at center

Copernicus is about 58 miles in diameter. The crater floor is about 2.4 miles below the crater rim crest. Mountains rise from the center of the crater to a height of about 4,200 feet. An impact this size on earth today would triggered a mass extinction event.

A comparison image of Copernicus taken by NASA/lunar reconnaissance orbiter LRO.
