Thank you all for your comments. ;)

 

are those lines radiating from the site of craters where debris moved at impact time?

 

Exactly.

 

The big crater in the inset picture with the bright spouts is 'Copernicus'. Copernicus is 95km (56 Mi) in diameter and 3760m (11400ft) deep!

 

The smaller, but prominent one above is 'Aristarchus' (41km/24Mi diameter, 3000m/9100ft deep). Please note the 'Vallis Schroter', a remarkable rille above Aristarchus (6-10km width).
