THE formation of a lunar crater will be accompanied by stresses set up in the lunar surface in the vicinity of the crater. Critical telescopic observation demonstrates the existence of systems of nearly radial fractures and valleys around certain craters.

Physical properties of lunar craters
Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2017The surface of the Moon is highly cratered due to impacts of meteorites, asteroids, comets and other celestial objects. The origin, size, structure, age and composition vary among craters. We study a total of 339 craters observed by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC).

The Moon, 1976
Numerous lunar craters (206 examples, mean diameter = 40km) contain pronounced floor rilles (fractures) and evidence for volcanic processes. Seven morphologic classes have been defined according to floor depth and the appearance of the floor, wall, and rim zones.

ABSTRACT An abridged reprint of a popular work by Holden which appeared in The Californian in 1892. Holden describes in a popular way the state of the art of lunar observation and science with a concentration on Copernicus and the Copernican ray system. Of substantially historical interest (Copernicus is thought to be of volcanic origin,

Nonrandom distribution of lunar craters
Journal of Geophysical Research, 1971Azimuths were plotted between all intersecting lunar craters >10 km in diameter, about 3200 pairs, directed from the center of the older crater to the center of the younger. The results are statistically nonrandom above the 90 percentile. Two broad zones of randomness were found, located approximately at the limbs of the near side of the moon.

10 crater radii from the shock epicenter. These fragments are located on the eroded surface of the younger Moenkopi formation and most are probably missiles ejected from the crater. The missiles ejected the farthest were probably Moenkopi fragments but are difficult to detect at present on the Moenkopi surface since the evidence of the impact, the ...
