It might be interesting to try to detect this area in the LRO's online ACT-REACT Quick Map.<br />  Research Danny Caes<br /> <br />

==Additional Information==
===The mystery of the lonely boulder track===
'''-''' To the northwest of '''Koval'skiy''' is the location of an unnamed high-albedo raycraterlet (an oblique impact?), see photographic version of LAC 100 (page 200) in the ''Clementine Atlas'' (a broad white spot almost at centre of LAC 100).<br /> '''-''' Immediately east-northeast of this bright raycraterlet is the location of a peculiar looking track south of a 20 or 25 meter sized boulder.<br /> '''-''' The pinpoint coordinates of the boulder and its weird looking track are: Longitude 100.155 Latitude -21.045<br /> '''-''' This peculiar appearance (the track) was independently discovered by Danny Caes via the LRO's [http://target.lroc.asu.edu/da/qmap.html ACT-REACT Quick Map].<br /> '''-''' Why are there no tracks behind the other boulders in the neighborhood?<br /> '''-''' Apollo 15's orbital Hasselblad photograph [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS15-97-13181 AS15-97-13181] shows a color close up of the mentioned raycraterlet (located at the southern part of '''Koval'skiy Y''').<span class="membersnap">- DannyCaes <small>Jun 5, 2011</small></span><br /> <br />
