Re: Virtual Atlas of the Moon

Hello Bill and G-users
One modest proposal.
I'm not sure how correct fact-wise it would be, but wouldn't it be
possible to simulate the shadows of craters based on their diameters.
By assuming a generic rim height and crater profile (appropriately
scaled to diameter, of course) and then have Guide draw the resulting
shadows and sun-side brightening, I think the visual impression would
be stunning.
Just a thougt...
