Reiner Gamma: a Moon "Magnetic Anomaly" (1)
Caption ESA originale:"The bright albedo feature called Reiner Gamma, is located in the Oceanus Procellarum on the near side of the Moon. 
From ground-based observations, this feature was first mis-identified as a crater. Spacecraft orbiting the Moon, however, revealed its true nature: Reiner Gamma is totally flat and consists of much brighter material than the surrounding dark mare. Only three features like this exist on the Moon. Apart from Reiner Gamma on the lunar near side, there are two more on the lunar far side, not visible from the Earth. The last two features are exactly opposite of the large impact sites which created Mare Imbrium and Mare Orientale. It is assumed that these features formed due to the reflection of the shock wave of these impacts on the opposite side of the Moon. 
The area also coincides with a strong magnetic anomaly".
Parole chiave: The Moon from orbit - unusual features
