Summary

Description
English: Mosaic of two images showing most of Mons Vinogradov (Euler β), facing south, on the west side of Mare Imbrium, on the moon. Created from two Hasselblad images.

A similar mosaic was published in the Apollo 17 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-330, 1973), Figure 30-16, which has the following caption:

A mosaic of Apollo 15 Hasselblad photographs AS15-95-12931 and 12932 showing Euler β, a dark-mantled island 75 km west-southwest of the crater Euler. The "X" indicates a low-albedo, linear cinder cone complex. (See figs. 30-14 and 30-15 for more detailed location.)

The text of the report refers to the figure as follows:

The youngest lavas (phase III) have been traced to a possible source fissure at latitude 22°50' N, longitude 31°20' W (fig. 30-15, lower left). A very low-albedo, linear cinder cone complex on the southeastern end of the island Euler β trends northeast-southwest and may be structurally related to the inferred eruptive vent (fig. 30-16). The presence of a distinct linear fissure cannot be visually documented on the Apollo photographs, but its approximate location and northeast-southwest trend were suspected after photogeologic mapping showed that the phase III flow lobes narrow sharply southwestward and terminate between the crater Euler and the dark-mantled terra island Euler β (fig. 30-15). The absence of such distinct flow scarps south of this region suggests that the fissure source is nearby but possibly obscured by the lava flows. The pattern of flows at their narrowest point suggests that the fissure vent may have been on the order of 20 km in length.
