I think it looks like an irregular, crescent shaped peak. It's just an optical illusion, your eyes are seeing what they want to see. The same concept is happening in pic related. Do you see a small cube sitting in the corner of a room or a large cube missing one of it's corners?

>> pulls the line right after the last lit area like thats the actual light falloff
Why wouldn't it be? Any area that is still lit MUST BE inside the terminator, otherwise they wouldn't be lit.
> there are craters with even deeper angles that catch the sunlight, but they're not even close to that brightness.
I never said it was bright because of the angle. I believe there is a highly reflective mineral deposit, possibly platinum, that formed in the peak in the center of the crater (and also splashed out to the side because of the angle that the asteroid collided).
