1. Fourier

   Fourier is a lunar crater that is located in the southwestern part of the Moon's near side, just to the southeast of the crater Vieta. To the northeast is the Mare Humorum. The rim of this crater is roughly circular, but appears oval when viewed from the Earth due to foreshortening. Except to the north-northwest, the outer rim is not heavily eroded. The satellite crater Fourier B lies along the eastern rim and inner side. The inner wall is relatively wide, and is slumped slightly along the edge forming a shelf near the perimeter. The interior floor is just over half the diameter of the crater rim, and is relatively level with a small crater to the west of the midpoint and another near the northeast edge.

1. Ayush Bhandari:

   You physically can not make a camera that picks out multiple reflections, that would mean that you take time slices so fast that [ the camera ] actually starts to operate at the speed of light, which is technically impossible. So what’s the trick ? We use the Fourier transform.
