Was out with a bunch of fellow geologists, who all got a kick out of looking at Saturn and the moon. Was only taking pictures with my phone, and so didn't get a good shot of Saturn, but thought this one of the moon was nice.

Not an expert but I'd guess that is Tycho crater, and the stripes are called its ray system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_system

Interesting, thank you for the reply! Learned something new today. The lines I see span over a quarter or so of the moon, so I'm not fully convinced yet. Absolute massive.
