Shifting the position of her telescope a little, Paulina was slowly making her way downwards from where Copernicus was located. She knew that there was an area on the moon that was called the Southern Lunar Highlands; it was in this spot that a lot of craters were located. Even though it might be difficult for her to identify any in particular, she wanted to see how well she would do with it.

Thank goodness there was no shortage of craters on the moon! This assignment would be a lot harder if the terrain was similar to that on Earth. As it was there was only one side of the moon that she could look at. Otherwise she might have been able to spot the South Pole–Aitken basin which was the largest, deepest, and oldest impact crater on the moon. That would have been pretty cool.

Continuing to move her gaze downwards, Paulina refocused the lens until she got a perfect view of the craters. When she reached the area of the moon that had to be the Southern Lunar Highlands, she tried to discern any craters in particular. Honestly they all looked about the same to her, but then her eyes landed on one that seemed to be more defined than the others; it didn't seem to be as old as its neighbours. Smiling, she consulted her textbook so that she could identify what she had seen.

Scanning the page, she found what she was looking for. "Tycho." She made a note of her finding.
