Left: Apollo 17 image; AS17-M-0446 This Apollo 17 Metric Camera view shows the southern part of the Rimae Littrow system. Clerke is the deeply-shadowed 6-km circular crater in the center, with the much smaller craters of Catena Littrow in the bright area to its north. 30-km Littrow, the namesake of both the rilles and the crater chain, is partially visible along the right margin. The Apollo 17 Landing Site is below it, along the bottom right margin. Right: LOIV 078 H3
