BRIEF DESCRIPTION
South-western part of Mare Imbrium with numerous rinkle ridges
and
a network of bright streaks radiating mainly from the craters
Copernicus
and Aristarchus. An interesting object for larger telescopes is
the system
of sinuous rilles near the crater Prinz. Refer to your Antonin
Rukl lunar
atlas chart, page 65.
