The landing site of Apollo 11's LM Eagle (Statio Tranquillitatis/Tranquillity base) is located a little above and to the right of centre (near the morning terminator). - DannyCaes DannyCaes Dec 2, 2007

Description: Elger
(IAU Directions).-- From a mountain arm extending from the S. wall (of Sabine), run in a easterly direction two nearly parallel clefts skirting the edge of the Mare. The more southerly of these terminates near a depression on a rocky headland projecting from the coast-line, and the other stops a few miles short of this. A third cleft, commencing at a point N.W. of the headland, runs in the same direction up to a small crater near the N. end of another cape-like projection. At 8 h. on April 9, 1886, when the morning terminator bisected Sabine, I traced it still farther in the same direction. All these clefts exhibit considerable variations in width, but become narrower as they proceed eastwards.

Additional Information
Nomenclature
- Named after the nearby crater. (Hypatia)
- The name Hypatia I was included in the original IAU nomenclature of Blagg and Müller (1935).
- Hypatia II was added in the System of Lunar Craters, where the combination of the two was renamed Rimae Hypatia.
- In 1973, the IAU declared its intention to revise the lunar nomenclature in such a way that "Rimae and Rima systems will receive new and more appropriate designations" (IAU Transactions XVB). Such renaming never appears to have happened, so the status of the old Roman-numeraled designations (pending the promised re-naming) is unclear.
- During the first lunar missions of project Apollo (the equatorial missions), Hypatia I was nicknamed "U.S. Highway Number One" (or "U.S.-1") and Hypatia II was called "Wagon Road" (see Phil Stooke's LPOD, 10 September 2007).
