No wind or clouds. R1: Lexell has a central peak and a very eroded northern edge. Hell is very deep and has a well-defined rim; could not find its central peak. Deslandres had two very eroded craters on its floor; there was slight evidence of crater walls. Deslandres has been impacted several times on its rim and its floor, giving it the irregular shape. C1: A line of 5 or 6 very small craters were in a line from the SE to the NW within Deslandres. |
