Photos - Moon
The moon is particularly interesting along the terminator, the boundary
between the dark and sunlit hemispheres of the moon or planet. The
appearance of the terminator is affected by the topographical
irregularities, such as the mountains. Tom McMahon imaged a very nice
portion of the terminator in the image below.
An interesting feature of the moon are Maria. These are relatively
smooth dark areas on the moon's surface.
Maria is a feature that can appear on any planet or satellite. They show
up very nice in the image below taken by Harold Nationswith a 80mm Tele
Vue.
Apollo
16 landed on the surface of Maria Serenitatis.
