The Moon - Lunar Orbiter 4
The Davy crater chain on the Moon
Lunar Orbiter 4 image of the Davy crater chain on the Moon.
The chain stretches from Davy Y at left to the large, bright
Davy G (diameter 15 km). Note the even spacing of the craters.
The chain may be the result of secondary impacts, volcanic
activity, or an impactor which broke apart shortly before
impact, similar to Comet Shoemaker/Levy 9 on Jupiter.
North is up.
