Indeed! Bit of everything there.

Another strange backward "S" feature in the upper left.  Perhaps we should start a "Lunar Alphabet" section?

Or perhaps its a Lunar, "Yin Yang"?

It does look like a Yin-Yang symbol, Thormius
But, I think it's just a trick of the light, caused by the placement of two smaller craters on or near the rim of the larger crater.

Hills, Valleys, Rubble and Cracks!  I LIKE this picture!

Odd dark lines on this one that remind me of refrozen cracks on an ice sheet.  What could cause this on the Moon?

Also, if you don't mind my piggybacking on that question, are there a lot of elongated pits in that image, or is it a lot of foothills causing that effect?  Just trying to get sighted in better.

The lines are going away from a crater. Maybe they are boulder tracks going downhill, but they look different in this lighting.
And the bumps are eroded craters?

Should I mark this as "Sinuous channels"? Or just "other"...

Hi Peek

This interesting image has been posted before, see the Ina thread: http://forum.moonzoo.org/index.php?topic=126.0

Many interesting objects in this area!

[Peek]

Aha, thanks for pointing that out, Geoff! Some interesting images there...
So I guess it's "other" then.

Deep valley?

Maybe a close up of one of these cracks? Similar coordinates.

The white line in the top left caught my attention immediately!  It appears to me to be a cliff or an old crater wall.  The other light objects in the area I thought were unusual, too!

Good site for a future Lunat Penal Colony.  Desolate, little or no water or food, No-one would want to escape and try to cross this landscape on foot.

...And torrential downpours and flooding are still occurring over much of the Lunar surface today, with another 3 meters of dust expected in some parts...
