This is a portion of a  publically-released LROC (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera) image of Copernicus crater.
It's a bit of the central peak, a central mountain that forms during the impact that formed the crater.
Follow  link to view the whole image; I just grabbed a low res screencap  from here:  http://wms.lroc.asu.edu/lroc/view_lroc/LRO-L-LROC-2-EDR-V1.0/M109365462REIt's a bit of the central peak, a central mountain that forms during the impact that formed the crater.
