Description

The Lunar X and V are optical effects along the Moon's terminator. The illusion  of the lunar X is created by sunlight falling on the rims/ridges between the craters La Caille,, Blanchini, and Purbach. The V is caused by light illuminating crater Ukert, along with several smaller craters.
