Description

The main attraction of the marial plain west of crater Thebit is Rupes Recta ( Straight Wall ), a large, slightly curving fault 110 km long. The shadow it casts is visible even through binoculars as a prominent black line at morning illumination. It is the most clearly visible product of faulting visible on the entire Moon.
