Two Views of Proclus:
These images are processed slightly differently to show the extent of the rays emanating from the small, bright crater at the central image. The bright, feather rays emanate from the hummocky-floored Proclus with an obvious zone of avoidance to the lower left of the crater. A large object collided with the moon at a very low angle creating the rays laterally and downrange from the point of impact, but none from the direction of approach. This is a very fascinating crater lying just below Mare Crisium which seems to look on impassively.
