Clementine;
d'Alembert, with [/Slipher Slipher] at the southwestern part of its floor and rim.
The small crater on the southwestern part of Slipher's rim is Slipher S.
It's as if Slipher is always trying to escape out of d'Alembert, pulling part of d'Alembert with it. The same thing seems to happen within Slipher (with Slipher S).
