Roscosmos published a photo of the Napier crater from the visible side of the Moon on its Telegram channel.
The post clarifies that it is 3.9–4.1 billion years old. The crater was formed at the end of a period of heavy bombardment and is located at the edge of the lunar disk. Because of this, it is often viewed from a distorted perspective.
Roscosmos noted and added that the published image was taken by Nikolai Vdovin using the Schmidt-Cassegrain C/9.25 XLT telescope, ASI678MC camera and UV&IR Cut filter.
