Hadley Rille-Apollo 15 landing site

[Nick Smith]

Hi all

An image taken under a low angle of illumination from the Sun.  This is dominated by the trio of large craters, Archimedes, Aristillus and Autolycus.

However of particular interest, visible to the top left of the picture, is the sinuous rille, Rima Hadley.  This was site of the Apollo 15 landing.  

 

  

 

Cheers

Nick

Excellent result with lots of detail, was looking in that area last week.

Below a print of Jim Irwin at Hadley Rille painted by the late and great Al Bean ?

Apologies for the flash in middle of picture I’m no David Bailey ?

Really great picture Nick, razor sharp rima Hadley and stunning shadows in Archimedes crater.
