Details:
This image displays the lunar eastern limb under a moderate-high solar illumination angle. Mare Marginis, Undarum, Crisium, Spumans, Smythii and Sinus Successus are detectable. Undarum displays as whith patches some lunar domes. Mare Undarum, as well as Mare Spumans, Bonitatis and Anguis, are mare patches outside the main rim of the Crisium impact basin. Mare Undarum is an uneven mare located just north of Mare Spumans on the lunar near side, between Firmicus crater and the eastern limb of the apparent lunar disk. The Crisium basin formed in a period of high cratering flux. Mare Spumans and Mare Undarum are presumably located within the continuous Crisium ejecta. The surrounding basin material is of Nectarian age, with the mare basalt being of Upper Imbrian age. Image made using a Mak Cassegrain 18 cm.
