Rays
Bright streaks radiating from craters?
Bright streaks radiating from craters on celestial bodies like the Moon or Mars are likely to be caused by the ejection of lighter-colored material during impacts. These streaks, known as rays, are formed when the impact throws out material from beneath the surface, exposing brighter material that contrasts with the surrounding darker surface. They can help scientists understand the age and composition of the surface.

What are the bright streaks radiating from craters on the Moon?
These fine radial streaks are simply refered to as rays. They are formed from the ejecta from the explosion, from the Moon being hit at high speed. You may see Related Links for more information on crater rays.
What are lunar rays?
Lunar rays are bright bands of material thrown out very large distances from impact craters on the Moon. They are also seen on other planets, notably Mercury. They are thought to represent ejected material with a high level of iron oxide and similar materials.
What are the bright spots on the moon?
The bright spots on the moon are usually impact craters where the sunlight reflects off the exposed lunar surface. These craters are formed when a meteorite or asteroid crashes into the moon, creating a depression on the surface. The bright appearance comes from the way sunlight interacts with the material in and around the crater.
How does the moon look?
The moon is a sphere about one- seventh of the earth's size. It has dark spots and bright spots and craters.
What are the bright streaks around a moon crater fanning out from the crater like the spokes of a wheel.?
They are called "rays" and were created by ejecta (material thrown out of the crater by the meteor impact).

How many eruptions did Craters of the Moon have?
Craters on the moon are not volcanic, they are impact craters.
