Description

Rima Hyginus, the 24th target on the Lunar 100 list, is a lunar rille located on the Moon's surface. Also known as "Hyginus Rille," it is a long, sinuous channel that stretches for approximately 220 kilometers (137 miles) across the lunar landscape. Rima Hyginus is believed to have been formed by volcanic activity, with lava once flowing through the region and leaving behind this distinctive feature.
