Also known as Rima Hadley, this rille is located within Mare Imbrium and is near the location of the Apollo 15 moon landing in an area called the Marsh of Decay (Palus Putredinus). Named for Mons Hadley, which is in turn named for John Hadley, Hadley rille begins at Béla crater and follows a generally northeast course towards Mons Hadley. It is centered at the selenological coordinates 25.0° N, 3.0° E.
