LO-IV-188M This [/Lunar%20Orbiter Lunar Orbiter] view shows 80-km [/Galvani Galvani] at the top (between the "D" and "E" arrows) and the less clearly defined 90-km [/Gerard Gerard] in the lower right corner (to the right of the "C"). The IAU position and diameter of Rimae Gerard seems large enough to encompass the rilles at A, B and probably C. Whether the name is intended to include the rille at “D” is unclear. All these features (including "D") fall within the [/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters]’ larger or “outer” [/Gerard Gerard] Q (there seem to be two features of this name in SLC); but rille “D” seems closely related to the one at “E”, which is regarded as part of [/Rimae%20Repsold Rimae Repsold].
