...His high-resolution mosaic is peppered with lunar curiosities such as the Davy Crater Chain... The chain formed unknown millions of years ago when a fragmented comet or asteroid hit the Moon, one piece after another. What fragmented it? Tidal forces from the Earth-Moon system ripped the impactor into a "string of pearls" much like Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 that hit Jupiter in 1994...Salway's mosaic also highlights the dramatic Straight Wall, a 70 mile-long fault best seen in the shadows and light of a quarter Moon.
