Astronomy Adventure - Hadley Rille And The Apollo 15 Landing Site

The prominent mount range in the middle of this photo of the Moon is the Hadley Rille with the two small craters to its upper left being Autolycus and Aristillus and the larger one to the left just on the terminator being Archimedes. The crater with the central peak at the bottom of the photo on the terminator is Arzachel.

And here is a close up of the Hadley Rille area. Apollo 15 landed near the mountains almost directly across and a little below Archimedes. In addition, the Soviet Luna 2 probe, the first man-made object to ever reach the moon way back in September of 1959, landed just below the midway point between Autolycus and Archimedes.
