Gruithuisen's drawing of Wallwerk, north of Schröter crater on the Moon.
The vicinity of the Moon where the alleged Wallwerk is located. The crater Bode B is at left, and the crater Schröter is near the central horizon, facing south from the Apollo 17 command/service module America. The sunlight strikes the ground from the left, similar to the lighting thought to be optimal for observing the features of Wallwerk. Only low, naturally occurring hills are visible.Scientists born in the 1770s 6
