Not sure they are secondaries but they more are examples of these strange beings.

Not a crater chain as we know them - but I see what you're thinking. I wonder if there is any way these impacts could really be related. Or is this just a series of unrelated fresh impacts falling in the same region?

I think they are just a splash of secondaries rather than a chain. We've come to realise that chains are unlikely to show up on the scale of images Moon Zoo uses and are best seen in wide-field. Having said that we have come across the unexpected already!

You have found Hyginus crater and rille. The rille has a number of volcanic vents and collapse craters along its length.

See this image of the week posting: Hyginus Crater and Rille

I do not know if I put on the forum each found object?
and only the most interesting (subjective)?
Here we have a crater chain (red circle).-inconspicuous  :-\
I'm not sure that there is no continuation? (yellow line)

The craters marked in yellow are just a chance alignment I think. The craters marked in red could well be from the same impact event.

As the team will look at all the interesting things you flag up via Moon Zoo you can put just the most interesting ones on the forum - even though it is a subjective matter!
