Tags: Crater.
Thales is a small crater located in the northeast part of the Moon just to the west of the larger crater Strabo. To the southeast is the walled plain De La Rue. Thales has a sharp circular rim that has received little erosion. The lunar surface around Thales has a ray system that extends for over 600 kilometers. An area to the north-northwest of the crater is free of rays however indicating that the crater may have been formed by a low-angle impact from that direction.
