Lunar 100 – Object 96
Lunar 100 object 96 represents the Leibnitz Mountains, towering far‑side highlands forming part of the uplifted rim of the South Pole–Aitken Basin. It is included in the Lunar 100 because their extreme elevation, ancient crustal composition, and connection to the Moon’s largest impact basin make them a textbook example of basin‑rim geology. A scientifically rich feature illustrating far‑side highland uplift.
