Moon - natural satellite of a planet in particular, the single natural satellite of the earth.
rille A ditch on the surface of the Moon where molten lava flowed in the past.
RILLE - Long narrow depression on the surface of the Moon; also called "sinuous rilles". Lunar rilles usually flow away from small pit structures and probably mark lava channels or collapsed lava tubes that formed during mare volcanism.
Rille: Long channel on the Moon crossing the surface of maria; probably formed either as an open channel in a lava flow, or as an under-ground tube carrying hot lava which collapsed as the lava flowed out.

An hour and a half into the EVA, they were finally on their way.
Several rille systems lie along the eastern side of this range. The eastern end of the range forms the western terminus of a rille system designated Rimae Plinius.
The term rille was applied by telescopic observers to several types of lunar features.
rill (NASA SP-7, 1965) (from German rille meaning groove ). A deep, narrow, depression on the lunar surface which cuts across all other types of lunar topographic features.
Features discernible on the surface of the moon include craters, mountain ranges, plains or maria, faults, domes, rilles, and rays. The largest distinct crater, called Bailly, is about 295 km (about 183 mi) wide and 3960 m (about 13,000 ft) deep.
You certainly need magnification for you to see rills (also called rilles or clefts). Rills look like dried up riverbeds and can be either straight or irregular.
