Not to be confused with "ray craters" (craters which appear at the centre of a bright ray system on the surface of the Moon e.g.
Tycho and Copernicus), crater rays are bright shafts of light that appear across the floor of a crater at times of Lunar sunrise or sunset.
Rather than the thin streak of light I was expecting, the ray took the form of a triangle of light, perfectly framing the central peak of the main crater.

Aristoteles and Eudoxus are an interesting pair of craters to the north of Mare Serenitatis.
Craters of this size would be expected to have large central mountains but both have only a few low hills.
Aristoteles is also interesting as one of few examples of a large crater supported by a smaller one, in this case Mitchell which must be the older of the two.

Aristotle (or Aristoteles) was one of the world's great thinkers and the tutor of Alexander the Great.
The eastern wall is obviously affected by the overlapped crater Mitchell.
Secondary craters and ridges of ejecta radiate from Aristoteles, showing that it is young enough for them not to have been removed by later meteoritc bombardment, but the lack of rays suggests that the crater is not Copernican in age - its older than 1 billion years.

 Lunar crater locations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Evidence collected during the Apollo Project and from unmanned spacecraft of the same period proved conclusively that meteoric impact, or impact by asteroids for larger craters, was the origin of almost all lunar craters, and by implication, most craters on other bodies as well.
The age of large craters is determined by the number of smaller craters contained within it, older craters generally accumulating more small, contained craters.
Craters typically will have some or all of the following features: *a surrounding area with materials splashed out of the ground when the crater was formed, this is typically lighter in shade than older materials due to exposure to solar radiation for a lesser time.

Following Gene Shoemaker's analysis in the late 1950s we now know that crater rays are pulverized ejecta widely dispersed from craters formed by high speed impact and mixed with local material gardened by such ejecta.
The two most important recent studies are The Origin of Lunar Crater Rays by Hawke and colleagues, and Optical Maturity of Ejecta from Large Rayed Lunar Craters by Grier and colleagues.
Although there are obviously many rayed craters, lists of crater ray systems are not as common as they were 100 years ago.

 Lab Packet--Deep Impact: Meteoric Effects on the Lunar Surface
Craters that are between 30 and 40 km in diameter are either regarded as simple craters or complex craters.
By comparing craters formed by volcanoes on earth to lunar craters, he gathered much data on the differences of these two types of craters and proved his point that the lunar craters were mainly formed by meteoric impact.
This crater is obviously similar to the surface of the moon, due to the fact that astronauts used it for training between 1965 and 1966.

It's large, flat, and has a perfect "central crater" that caught the light in such a way as to have a pitch dark center and flaring rims.
The shorter ray paralleled the rima and seemed to engulf it in places, and there was another running almost perpendicular (mostly south with a slight tendency to the west) from the point closest to Eudoxus (they joined to form a V).
