The bright albedo feature at left is called Reiner Gamma and is located in the Oceanus Procellarum on the near side of the Moon. From ground-based observations, this feature was first mis-identified as a crater. Only spacecraft orbiting the Moon revealed its true nature. Reiner Gamma is totally flat and consists of much brighter material than the surrounding dark mare.
