Everything about Mons Hadley totally explained
Mons Hadley is a
massif in the northern portion of the
Montes Apenninus, a range in the north
hemisphere of the
Moon. The
selenographic coordinates of this peak are 26.5° N, 4.7° E. It has a height of 4.6
km and a maximum diameter of 25 km at the base.
To the southwest of this mount is a valley that served as the landing site for the
Apollo 15 expedition. To the southwest of this same valley is the slightly smaller
Mons Hadley Delta (δ) peak with a height of about 3.5 km. The coordinates of this peak are 25.8° N, 3.8° E. To the west of these peaks is the sinuous
Rima Hadley rille.
These features were named for
John Hadley.
Rima Hadley
This sinuous
lunar rille follows a course generally to the northeast, toward the
Mons Hadley peak, for which it's named. This feature is centered at selenographic coordinates 25.0° N, 3.0° E, and lies within a diameter of 80 km. It begins at the Béla crater, an elongated formation with the long axis oriented to the northwest.
Nearby craters
Four small craters near this rille have been assigned names by the
IAU. These are listed in the table below.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that's closest to Mons Hadley.
