Summary[edit]

Description
English: Black & White Orbital image. This is figure 3-51 of the Apollo 15 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-289, 1972), which has the following caption:
View westward to the terminator in eastern Sea of Rains. The low Sun angle exaggerates small differences in elevation. Beer and Feuillee Craters, near the center, are at the edge of material that looks like rough mare deposits in a higher Sun angle. In this view, the affinity of this material to nearby highlands seems more likely. The chain of craters extending toward the camera from Beer Crater is Archimedes Rille I.
Note also the lunar dome to the left of Beer crater.
