The moon is littered with some very unique craters. One type of crater that stands out more so than others are the ray craters. These possess radial streaks whose lengths can far exceed the size of the crater. The length of some of these rays on the moons seems to defy the idea that they were created by a simple impact event. So what created them, and why do the rays not always seem to originate from the crater itself?
