BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The Rupes Altai, in this section illuminated by light coming from
the east, commences near the crater Tacitus and cross the region to the
south and south-east. A bright, wide ray from the crater Tycho (Section
64) runs across the craters Polybius A and B. The large crater Catharina
forms a conspicuous trio with Cyrillus and Theophilus (Section 46). Refer
to your copy of the Antonin Rukl lunar atlas chart, page 141.
