On the night of Friday, May 28, 2004, I observed a previously unreported lunar light ray in Montes Riphaeus, a 150 kilometer long mountain range that lies south of the crater Lansberg.
What I saw was a thin shaft of light running westward to the terminator, just south of an arc-shaped region in the Riphaeus Mountains.
It was partly cloudy with high thin clouds and haze.
