L85: Langrenus Rays (1.4x). Langrenus is the large bright crater on the right hand side of this image. It is 90 miles from north to south. Notice the wrinkles on Mare Foecunditatis running vertically up the image. The rays from this crater are more prominent in Lunar 100 images for the moon phase 36% | |

L16: Petavius (1.6x). This crater extends nearly 100 miles from north to south. The massive central mountain is 2000m tall. The crater floor is convex - the centre is 250m higher that the edge. The floor contains a remarkable cleft running from the central peak, south west (lower left) to the edge of the crater. |
