[meteorite-list] What is this lunar crater?

[bernd.pauli at paulinet.de]

"Anyone have a name/location for the crater in the photo with this article, 
 where the meteoroid apparently skidded across the surface, and maybe bounced
 once?"

Hello Darren and List,

These are Messier and Messier A. Messier is an oval crater ( 9 x 11 km).
Messier A is two circular craters (the "younger" one sits on and thus
hides part of the "older" crater). This double crater measures 11 x 13 km
and this is the one in the NASA picture that displays these two straight,
narrow rays up to a distance of 120 km! Look for it in Mare Fecundidatis
3-4 days after the Moon is new or 3-4 days after full moon because then
this interesting feature is close to the terminator (No, not Arnold from
Austria ;-) and can thus be seen at its best!

Cheers,

Bernd
