Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The double central peaks of King, on the moon. This is Figure 151 of Apollo Over the Moon (NASA SP-362, 1978), which has the following caption:
The northern part of the central peak complex of the crater King is shown in this enlarged view. The massifs forming the arms of the central peak trend approximately north-south. They are crossed by linear valleys that are the surface expressions of faults. The blocks that litter the peaks attest to the freshness of the structure and, therefore, of the crater King itself. The floor material surrounding the massifs is very hummocky and shows many flow patterns. Arcuate flow boundaries, flow channels, and cooling cracks indicate that this material was once molten, perhaps because of shock melting at the time of the crater formation.-F.E.-B.
