Tags: Crater.

Crookes is a lunar impact crater that lies on the Moon’s far side as seen from the Earth. It lies just to the southwest of the giant crater Korolev. To the southwest of Crookes is McKellar.The rim of this crater has a relatively high albedo compared to most such formations on the Moon and it lies at the center of a ray system. This ejecta forms a nearly continuous blanket out to at least one crater diameter before forming extended rays and a multitude of wispy markings across the surface.
