Rays
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.
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.

A ray of light from the moon is a narrow, beam-like pathway of light that appears to radiate outward from the moon's surface. These rays are created when sunlight reflects off the moon's surface, creating bright streaks that can be observed on Earth.

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.
