LO-IV-079H [/Chacornac Chacornac] is the 51-km diameter crater above center, with the south rim of [/Posidonius Posidonius] above it. The arrows indicate the Rima Chacornac I and IV components of Rimae Chacornac as identified in the [/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters] and on LAC-43. Rima Chacornac I runs just to the west of 5-km [/Chacornac Chacornac] A (the crater on the floor) and 6-km [/Chacornac Chacornac] B (the crater on the rim). It terminates near 21-km [/Le%20Monnier Le Monnier] A (the crater with the fluted rim at the bottom of the frame). Rima Chacornac IV runs from near an unnamed 8-km crater on the south rim of [/Posidonius Posidonius] to where it disappears into [/Le%20Monnier Le Monnier]/[/Mare%20Serenitatis Mare Serenitatis] near 4-km [/Le%20Monnier Le Monnier] K. The other two classic components of this rille system were Rima Chacornac II, which starts on the floor of [/Chacornac Chacornac] to the east of Rima Chacornac I; and Rima Chacornac III, which angles to the east of Rima Chacornac I;
outside the crater rim, at about 5 o-clock. Neither of these is easy to spot in this [/Lunar%20Orbiter Lunar Orbiter] view.

LPOD Photo Gallery Lunar Orbiter Images Apollo Images The system of Rimae Chacornac was captured on Apollo 15's and Apollo 17's oblique north-looking Fairchild Metric-Mapping photographs. Since October 2017 it is possible to get a wonderful simulation of this oblique northward view (of the Posidonius-Chacornac region) in the new version of the LROC Act-React Quick Map (the rotateable digital moon's "3D" sphere).
