Rima Marco Polo

(discontinued IAU name)

Strictly speaking, this page doesn't exist yet, it's up to someone (for example: an universitarian) to do something about it. Read: someone who has the perseverance to put information in it (in this embryonic page) while exploring the region near crater Marco Polo on the online ACT-REACT Quick Map of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (the LRO).

I say, I want to keep my brain active (I'm a labourer at an industrial port) and so I decided to do it myself (the bold exploration of the region near lunar crater Marco Polo).

Sunday the 20th of September 2015, at about, say, 16:00 U.T.

Exploring the region of Marco Polo on the online ACT-REACT Quick Map of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) :
And what do I see...
I must say, an extremely chaotic and hilly region it is, up there at Marco Polo... We are in that certain part of the Apennine range of which the northern section of it was frequently photographed through the lenses of the Fairchild and ITEK cameras aboard the SIM-bay (the Scientific Instruments Module - bay) of Apollo 15's orbiting Command-Service Module (CSM) Endeavour, operated by Command Module Pilot (CMP) Alfred Worden, this during several days in the summer of 1971 (the first real scientific lunar exploration, the J-mission of Apollo 15 with the first LRV) (the four-wheeled Lunar Roving Vehicle).
Now, I see a rectilinear north-south running rille southeast of Marco Polo and Marco Polo A (south of Marco Polo). Could this be the IAU's Rima Marco Polo?
Thank you for your attention.
