English: Aratus D crater, east of Aratus itself, on the moon. This is Figure 227 of Apollo Over the Moon (NASA SP-362, 1978), which has the following caption:
The largest crater in this picture is Aratus D in western Mare Serenitatis. Its circular outline, high rim, and deep bowl-shaped interior are characteristic of many impact craters of comparable size and age. The next largest crater is tear shaped and nearly rimless. It is, furthermore, associated with a rille (arrows). These differences strongly suggest that it was formed or at least highly modified by structural collapse.-D.H.S. (David H. Scott)
