Lagalla (crater)
Lagalla is the remnant of a lunar impact crater. Wilhelm partly overlies the northeastern rim, and Montanari is attached to the southeast. The remainder of the rim is heavily eroded, with small craters overlaying sections along most of the sides. The rim is nearly nonexistent to the south, and the most intact portion is along the northwest. Lagalla F, an irregular satellite crater, is attached to the western rim. The interior floor is uneven but relatively featureless.

gollark: Yep!
gollark: It's safe because it has nothing in the environment. All you can do is loop infinitely, which just crashes it.
gollark: textutils.unserialise actually uses load internally but *fairly* safely.
gollark: ... how do you scroll the server list up and down in web discord on laptops?
