 | | Although each began near the center of the crater, and extended in a shaft of light to the western wall, it was clear that each was positioned in line with a gap or notch in the eastern wall of Plato. |
 | | Plato: -100,+782, A beautiful walled plain, familiar to every observer, and situated in the bright mountainous region separating the Maria Imbrium and Frigoris. |
