Farside Named Features
(The following features are not formally included in the present Rükl rectangle, but they are adjacent to it and their centers are less than 10° beyond the mean limb -- so they may be seen here in whole or in part with a favorable libration)

The Headlights
- An interesting photograph of the Headlights (the high-albedo raycraters Furnerius A and Stevinus A) is included on page 20 of the 21st Century Atlas of the Moon by Charles A. Wood and Maurice J.S. Collins. - DannyCaes Aug 15, 2015
