Last evening I took photos of our closest neighbor, the moon, as it rose above the trees in the east. I always enjoy looking up at the moon and thinking of the places that we have visited and named over the years. Below I have listed a handful of these places. So the next time you look up at the moon you will be able to name some of these landmarks.
In the lower right hand portion of the moon is a crater that looks like there was a large explosion there. This is Tyco.
The dark spot at what would be the North Pole on earth is named the Sea of Cold.
The dark spot just to the right of the Sea of Cold with the large crater (Plato) in it, is known as the Sea of Showers.
Just south of the Sea of Cold is the Sea of Serenity.
Adjacent to the Sea of Serenity, to the left, is the Sea of Tranquility. Apollo 17 landed between the Sea of Serenity and the Sea of Tranquility. Apollo 11 landed on the southern edge of the Sea of Tranquility.
