CAUCHY
Directory - Section 36


BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The central part of Mare Tranquilitatis. The most interesting area is in the neighborhood of the crater Cauchy, where under low illumination, a modest telescope will show rilles, a striking fault Rupes Cauchy and the typical domes Omega Cauchy and Tau Cauchy. On the summit of Omega Cauchy is a small craterlet, which is visible with a large telescope. A narrow cleft is present to the west of the crater Maskelyne (lower left-hand edge of the map). Refer to your Antonin Rukl Lunar Atlas chart, page 99. (See Apollo 8 image, AS8-13-2344, at bottom. * The three prominent craters are Taruntis F in the lower right corner; Taruntis E in the center; and Cauchy between the two linear features. The Cauchy scarp, this side of the Cauchy crater, is formed by one to three faults stepped down toward the spacecraft.)
