An Apollo 11 oblique view of the lunar farside. The linear group of small
craters is located within the large International Astronomical Union (IAU)
crater no. IX, and is centered at 139.5 degrees east longitude and 7 degrees
north latitude. The absence of shadows is due to the high sun angle. The
crater chain is approximately 34 statute miles in length; and the large
crater adjacent to the crater chain is about 10.5 statute miles in diameter.
