Rima Hadley

This sinuous lunar rille follows a course generally to the northeast, toward the Mons Hadley peak, for which it is named. This feature is centered at selenographic coordinates 25.0° N, 3.0° E, and lies within a diameter of 80 km. It begins at the Béla crater, an elongated formation with the long axis oriented to the northwest. Apparent magnitude: up to -12. ...
