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.

Where it sits
Its place on the near side
The Moon keeps one face turned toward Earth, so your crater is fixed in the same spot of sky every clear night of your life.
JTC-2011 lies at 23.90° S, 38.40° W, in Mare Humorum. On the map, north is up and east is to the right, exactly as it appears through a telescope from the high desert.
