<br /><br />
K.C. continues to astonish with his high resolution, near terminator images taken from a balcony in Hong Kong. <br />
This picture really needs to be examined at 200% to detect all the wonderful detail. It is centered on Lambert <br />
and its ghost crater neighbor, R. The most spectacular feature is the famous young lava flow - bottom left - that <br />
powers into the center of Imbrium from Mons La Hire. Roughness along the terminator marks other young lavas. <br />
A straight edge of a mare ridge stretches from La Hire to Lambert. A similar trending linear feature bounds part<br />
of the lava flow to the left, and another parallel ridge is even further to the left, just where the flow narrows. What<br />
forces controlled the alignment of these three lineaments is completely unclear. A second remarkable feature <br />
captured here is near the bottom right corner. Look closely to see a wiggly rille that cuts a low ridge. Look above<br />
to see another piece of the [[October_26,_2009|Draper Rille]]. A final example of detail rendered exquisitely here are the elongated<br />
chains of secondary craters along the bright rays from Copernicus. Volcanic rilles and flow, tectonic ridges, and<br />
secondary crater chains - what a wondrous image!<br />
