Countdown to the Moon Day!

July 16, 2009


The Moon in 3-D


Two small volcanic shield-like domes can be seen in the top and lower right of this photo of the area just north of the large crater Aristarchus. There are also six examples of sinuous rilles which all start from small volcanic craterlets. The remnants of the Aristarchus plateau lie in the lower half of the photo.
