One of the most
            unusual impact features on the moon is the large 110 mile long
            crater Schiller. Only 43 miles wide, this feature is the result
            of a low angle meteor impact. Mostly flat on its floor, the north
            west end (right here) contains a linear mountain range. Just
            up toward the limb, the three nearly identical craters on the
            edge of the shadow are Kircher, bettinus and Zucchius. The thick
            white ray seen on the left edge is a splash from Tycho just out
            of the field to the bottom left.
