===Description=== This image illustrates the eastern [[Mare Tranquillitatis]] looking northward as seen by the crew of the [[Apollo 8]] mission. In the upper right of this picture are a pair of features forming [[hyperbola]] shapes across the [[lunar mare]]. The upper feature is a pair of nearly-joined [[rille]]s named the ''Rimae Cauchy''. The southern curve is [[escarpment]] ''Rupes Cauchy''. The crater between these two features is the [[Cauchy (crater)|Cauchy crater]], for which they are named. To the south of the scarp can be seen a pair of low [[lunar dome]]s. The dome to the left (west) is the Cauchy Omega (ω) and the other named Cauchy Tau (τ). ===Source=== --www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/a410/AS8-13-2344.jpg {{PD-USGov-NASA}} {{NowCommons|Image:AS8-13-2344.jpg}}
