JTC-1766
Mare Crisium
16.40° N, 57.80° E
Inside the Sea of Crises, a perfectly isolated oval ringed by mountains and the easiest lunar sea to pick out with the naked eye.
Seeing it from Joshua Tree
Look to the eastern edge of the disc. Crisium appears as a distinct dark oval two nights after new moon.
The bright, ancient uplands. Rougher country, more dramatic in a telescope.
