MOON PROPERTY: SEA OF RAINSAmong the easiest lunar features to identify is the moon's Sea of Rains ("Mare Imbrium" in Latin). Almost directly at the "top" of the Moon when viewed from Earth, Imbrium is a vast, circular sea located in the north-central northern section of the moon. In the northern section of this region, beyond the Montes Teneriffe mountain range, is the immense Crater Plato. Generally visible even to the naked eye from Earth, Plato is a 100-kilometer wide bowl named for the legendary Greek philosopher. While visitors from Earth have not previously explored Mare Imbrium, several expeditions have landed nearby, including Russia's unmanned Luna 2, the first probe to reach the Moon (it surveyed Sinus Lunicus in 1959) and Luna 17, which touched down south of the Bay of Rainbows in 1970. |
