Mare Humorum
23.90° S, 38.40° W
In the Sea of Moisture, a basin so loaded with dense lava that its own weight cracked the floor into a web of rilles.
Seeing it from Joshua Tree
The fractures around it show beautifully at low sun. A genuinely spectacular telescope field.
Large craters that catch the sunrise line and throw kilometres of shadow.
