MESSIER
The vast area of Mare Fecunditatis, which is crossed by numerous mare ridges, is dominated by the well-known pair of craters Messier and Messier A, the latter of which is the source of two bright rays radiating to the west. In oblique illumination, "ghost craters" can be seen on the mare surface and a system of rilles around the crater Gutenberg.
