Light plains are a conspicuous feature of several lunar terra regions
including the central near side highlands. In this scene essentially all
flat lying areas are covered by plains deposits. No mare materials are
visible. Light plains deposits are not completely planar but faintly reveal
underlying relief. The subdued features that underlie the plains deposits
in the floor of the large crater Albategnius (lower center) are craters
and linear "Imbrium sculpture" troughs like those on the rim of Albategnius
and in the adjacent highlands. The rim crest diameter of Albategnius is
about 130 km. -D.E.W.
