Sergey's Astrophotography

The Moon and Rupes Recta

“A sharp close-up of the Straight Wall (Rupes Recta), one of the Moon's most famous linear surface features.”

This close-up resolves the Straight Wall — Rupes Recta — a roughly 110-kilometer fault scarp that appears as a dark line near the terminator, along with a dense field of surrounding craters in fine detail.
