Messier
& Messier A
The double Crater Messier
What kind of impact caused this highlight of the moon is still
under debate. Either a double impactor or a single rebounding
impactor are discussed. Because of the ejecta-ray (to the upper
right in this image) it seems to be a safe assumption that the
impact was very oblique.
