A close-up of a valley (Schroter; 100 miles long by 7 miles wide by 1/2
mile deep) and a new, bright crater (Aristarchus) on the Moon.  A few
hundred million years ago (rather short in the life of the Moon), the
crater wall broke and the molten lava that was in it overflowed and
lazily carved out a valley.  This was taken in 4/94 when the Moon was
near full.  In order to see objects like this, the Moon can't be full
because then there are almost no shadows (like in summer around Noon) to
provide better contrast.
