Interesting image details

Image 006 - shows west of crater Rheita the relatively unknown fault Rupes Neander, a structure similar to Rupes Recta (near Birt) or Rupes Cauchy (near Cauchy). The fault merges into a rille (at the left border of the picture above the center). Further the image also shows Rima Furnerius.

NEW 2016 Image 0010 - show the concentric double crater Crozier H. Es ist nach Hesiodus A der zweitgrößte dieser merkwürdigen Krater auf der Vorderseite des Mondes.
