Yesterday we learned the names of all these features so now we are ready to talk about them. In the foreground is the bent Rheita Valley, a secondary crater chain from the Nectaris basin, and at top-left is a fault-like straight feature, also radial to Nectaris. The very odd bulbous slot of Rheita E is not radial to any basin but it seems that it ought to be a short line of basin secondaries. A number of small craters have brightly lit rims that are beacons of their freshness. Two small bright craters, the yesterday you will notice that it has a very strange ray, so strange that it deserves its own LPOD.
