Futabatei and Sullivan's Debut
This image shows an excellent example of an unnamed peak ring crater in the top left corner. This view also includes two named craters: Futabatei and Sullivan. Futabatei, named for the Japanese author, translator, and literary critic, is the crater with central peaks in the bottom half of the image. To its left lies Sullivan, named for Louis Henri Sullivan, who was a highly regarded American architect and is praised as the "father of skyscrapers". In this scene, only the right half of Sullivan is visible, and much of it is in shadow.
