Here's an image with white lines heading off the right side of the image. Any idea what these might be?

Crater Rays, but in an unusual distortion.
Unless I misunderstand, this is not on the Moon; it is on Mercury. That might be salient in explaining the distortion, not sure.
You can see lots of them, here. (Patience; it's big.)

It looks like crater rays emanating from a crater maybe 50-100% the image width over, off the right side of the image, based on the way they're converging.

Ha ha! I saw hoof prints and thought zebras!Originally Posted by astrostu
The rays are not distorted - if they are radiating from another crater!

Nice, astrostu, can we verify this with a wider view?
