Perfectly round shape on the moon.

I just took this photo. Although the picture is pretty mundane, I observed something I have never seen before: The perfectly round circle on the bottom of the moon (bottom right hand corner).
At first I thought it was a crater, but it looks too perfect. What could it be?
What are the shiny dots all over the moon?
- cromulent 15y agoNice photo. All the things you ask about are craters. The large one is Tycho. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tycho_(crater) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tycho_(crater)
