Purely a lighting effect but interesting none the less - should be on view after midnight tonight until dawn.

Forgive my ignorance ... what's that then ...

I know I could have Googled it but frankly I trust the answers on here!

It is a bright X shape made by morning sunlight falling onto the walls of two adjacent craters.

Thanks for the heads up, can I ask where you can get this kind of information from please? Is there either a program or a website that gives predictions/schedules?
