English: Oblique view of the interior of Lobachevskiy crater, on the far side of the moon. This is figure 28-23 of the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-315, 1972), which has the following caption:
Two dark ribbons of material apparently emanate from the base of the small crater in the western wall of Lobachevsky Crater (Apollo 16 pan camera frame 5022)
The text of the report says of this figure:
The CMP observed that the small crater on the western wall with apparently two dark "flow" lobes was the most exciting observation of the mission. The striation pattern...was also surprising. Qualitatively, the darkest unit was the same color as the darkest units in King Crater. The second flow unit was a lighter tone (more tan than gray).
