Rima Hyginus是一个壮观的裂缝,长约220公里,在月球近侧中心附近发现。在月球的望远镜视图中很容易发现,它在这张月球特写中从左上角延伸到右下角。这张照片是用夸张的颜色拍摄的,反映了月球土壤的矿物成分。海基努斯陨石坑位于狭窄的月球表面沟槽中心附近。这个直径约10公里的低壁陨石坑是一个火山口,是月球表面较大的非撞击陨石坑之一。Hyginus rima本身可能是由内部岩浆上涌和沿长地表断层塌陷造成的应力造成的,上面点缀着由地表塌陷形成的小坑。这个有趣的地区曾是阿波罗19号任务的候选着陆点。

Rima Hyginus is a spectacular fissure, some 220 kilometers long, found near the center of the lunar near side. Easy to spot in telescopic views of the Moon, it stretches top left to bottom right across this lunar closeup. The image was made with exaggerated colors that reflect the mineral composition of the lunar soil. Hyginus crater lies near the center of the narrow lunar surface groove. About 10 kilometers in diameter, the low-walled crater is a volcanic caldera, one of the larger non-impact craters on the lunar surface. Dotted with small pits formed by surface collapse, Hyginus rima itself was likely created by stresses due to internal magma upwelling and collapse along a long surface fault. The intriguing region was a candidate landing site for the canceled Apollo 19 mission.
