JTC-1237
Sinus Iridum
44.60° N, 30.90° W
Inside the Bay of Rainbows, the most elegant curve on the near side, where the Jura Mountains sweep out into a half-drowned crater wall.
Seeing it from Joshua Tree
The Golden Handle effect lights this bay for a few hours each month. Worth planning a desert trip around.
The bright, ancient uplands. Rougher country, more dramatic in a telescope.
