Two of the younger lava flows described in figure 65 are here followed
northeastward to their terminations (see arrows) near the center of Mare
Imbrium. The narrowness of the flows is somewhat accentuated by the obliquity
of this view. From the postulated fissure vent near Euler ß to the
farthest terminal lobe is about 420 km. The mare ridge
at A must have been nonexistent or at least much more subdued at
the time the flow passed that point, otherwise the flow would have ponded
behind the ridge. The spray of irregular craters in the center foreground
was formed by material ejected from Copernicus, 460 km to the south.
