Description

Vallis Rheita is a linear valley, approximately 450 km long (similar to Vallis Snellius). At its widest points it reaches a width of about 30 km. It consists of a string of numerous, partially overlapping craters. It is oriented directly towards the centre of the Nectaris Basin and it is suggested that it may have arisen from secondary events following the Nectaris impact.It has a depth of about 2.57 km.
