Re: markings on the moon
If you belive some, some marks are created by lunar buggies, others could be foot tracks

Re: markings on the moon
The bright rays eminating from the craters are ejector material created when objects slammed into the moon's surface. The bright crater to the south is Tycho - a famous lunar crater.
The dark 'seas' aren't really seas of course - just darker lunar dust. Whilst those areas appear to be free of craters there are many of a considerable size and even on the Sea of Tranquility (2nd right of the group of 4 in the upper half) there were enough to cause Armstrong to experience some difficulty in landing Apollo 11's lunar module.
