This is a close-up view of the northern part of the Rheita Valley which is really a string of overlapping craters
which starts on the western edge of Rheita crater and extends in all about 500 Km to the south-east, passing through
Young and Young D on the way. Also shown at the very top of the picture is a long narrow crater which appears
to have the single designation Rheita E. I feel that it must have been formed either by a grazing impact
or (more likely) by the overlapping of several small craters. The picture was taken with a ToUcam attached to my LX200 on 1st September 2004, when the Moon was 17.7 days old. |
