Sinuous rilles, such as Hadley Rille, mark locations where rapidly flowing lavas cut winding channels.

History of the Moon: how do we know when things happened?

Apollo 15 commander David Scott had been driving around the moon's Hadley Rille on his third and last outing when he pulled out a pouch from under his seat.

Clearly, in any event, there exist at least two very different types of lunar 'trench', the rather rectilinear clefts of the Sirsalis or Ariadaeus form and the sinuous features typified by the Hadley Rille. As these sometimes coexist in close proximity in the same landscape --as in the Hadley/ Archimedes/ Mt Bradley area--it seems illogical to assert the same mechanism for the origin of both.

The Literature of Change

Generally, these long, narrow depressions are either straight (like the Ariadaeus Rille), concentric (such as the beautiful Hippalus Rilles on the east side of Mare Humorum), or sinuous (typified by the famous Hadley Rille where Apollo 15 astronauts David Scott and James Irwin landed).

Lunar Rilles of mystery: strange scars on the Moon's surface defy easy explanation

Swooping in over the Apennine Mountains, Dave Scott and Jim Irwin plunked their lunar module, Falcon, down onto a narrow plain between soaring mountains and an ancient lava channel known as Hadley Rille. Compared to the earlier missions, Apollo 15 carried more scientific instruments and a lunar rover--a small, lightweight electric car that allowed the astronauts to roam five times farther afield than previous crews.
