The Rima Hadley is a lunar groove on the front of the moon on the eastern edge of the Palus Putredinis at the foot of the Montes Apenninus . The groove is the best-explored lunar groove, as the Apollo 15 mission landed in close proximity.
The groove is around 1.5 km wide in places and between 180 and 270 m deep.
Astronaut David Scott left a sculpture and plaque here to commemorate the astronauts who died on missions or in training.
