Details:
The image taken on April 24 2026 displays some lunar rilles including Rima Ariadaeus, a long graben, Rimae Triesnecker which are a complex network of narrow, interconnected linear rilles (clefts) on the Moon and Rima Hyginus which is volcanic-tectonic feature on the Moon, formed primarily as a graben—a collapsed, sunken block of crust between two parallel faults. The rille and its associated rimless craters are considered endogenic, created by subsurface volcanic activity (magma dike intrusion) and subsequent collapse. In the image are visible also Rima Boscovich and the Rimae Sosignes.
