L38: Sabine & Ritter. Possible twin impacts. Located in
this picture's bottom left corner. Look for two equal sized craters,
almost overlapping. Ritter is the crater to the upper left, Sabine is to
the lower right. L53: Lamont. This is a wrinkle in the Mare Tranquillitatis. It runs from just to the right of L38 almost half way up the image. |
