Tags: Crater.

Daedalus is a prominent crater located near the center of the far side of the Moon. The inner wall is terraced and there is a cluster of central peaks on the relatively flat floor. Because of its location (shielded from radio emissions from the Earth) it has been proposed as the site of a future giant radio telescope which would be scooped out of the crater itself much like the Arecibo radio telescope but on a vastly larger scale.The crater is named after Daedalus of Greek myth.
