Julienne (crater)
Encyclopedia
Julienne is a tiny lunar
crater
that is located in the irregular terrain to the south and slightly to the east of the prominent crater Archimedes
.
This is a circular, cup-shaped feature with an even smaller crater near the eastern rim. The surface about this crater is marked by ray material
from the crater Autolycus
to the northeast. There are narrow clefts in the surface to the north and south of Julienne, and a hilly region to the west.
Moon
The Moon is Earth's only known natural satellite,There are a number of near-Earth asteroids including 3753 Cruithne that are co-orbital with Earth: their orbits bring them close to Earth for periods of time but then alter in the long term . These are quasi-satellites and not true moons. For more...

Archimedes (crater)
Archimedes is a large lunar impact crater on the eastern edges of the Mare Imbrium. To the south of the crater extends the Montes Archimedes mountainous region. On the southeastern rim is the Palus Putredinis flooded plain, containing a system of rilles named the Rimae Archimedes that extend over...

Ray system
A ray system comprises radial streaks of fine ejecta thrown out during the formation of an impact crater, looking a bit like many thin spokes coming from the hub of a wheel. The rays can extend for lengths up to several times the diameter of their originating crater, and are often accompanied by...

Autolycus (crater)
Autolycus is a lunar impact crater that is located in the southeast part of Mare Imbrium. West of the formation is Archimedes, a formation more than double the size of Autolycus...
