Crater Ejecta Rays

Crater Ejecta Rays is a geological surface feature consisting of radially outward-spreading, bright or high-albedo deposits of material ejected during the formation of an impact crater, distinguished from other ejecta patterns by their linear, ray-like morphology and often extensive reach beyond the crater rim.
