It looked like an angelic artist took an exacto knife to the surface just to make this phenomenal gash. I sure hope it's in the Lunar 100. I'd like to know what made it, etc. For now, add this link. It's great and interactive, with the name appearing as one draws the mouse over the many features of our neighbor.

It wasn't on the original list because at the time they'd gone off-line for some reason. I'm delighted to see they've got that back up and running. -------------------- Tom W.

I want to say he was in Singapore, but I'm less sure of that, could have been Taiwan or Hong Kong or Japan (duh, how about all the Far East to narrow it down a little :-) Anyone out there in cyberland know what I'm referring to?
