Moon

In these images the telescope, is presented the East of the Moon. On the Moon seen from Earth, are some features on the edge that are rarely seen because the Moon always remains the same face toward us. These features are large craters or seas.

These two clips of the west of the Moon, has several craters in the overwhelming light of the Sun.

These photos were taken through my telescope, and edited with names of the craters, seas, lakes, mountains, swamps and other lunar formations that contain them, of the SOUTH of the Moon.

On January 30, 2012, I caught in a video an occultation between HIP 9948 and the Moon. Star disappeared after the dark side of the Moon at 19:51:57. It was very cold outside. The temperature was -15 ° C.

Latin word "lacus" means "opening hole, pool, lake," and was also the word for a public water supply point of distribution in ancient Rome.

This is a list of Lakes (singular sea) from the Moon. This includes also lacus, palus and sinus. The modern system of nomenclature was introduced in 1651 by Riccioli. Riccioli's map of the Moon was made by Francesco Maria Grimaldi, who has a crater named after him.

ASTRONOMY:Observable Moon. Video by astronomical telescope-near Western Mare Crisium
This stabilized video presents west of Crisium Sea. The clip starts with the large crater Cleomedes (126 km) in the north of the sea. Images goes along the west of the sea, to south, when Macrobius and Tisserand craters appear, then the bright ray crater Proclus (28 km).

GEOLOGIC ASTRONOMY IMAGES: Mountains of the Moon. List of lunar mountains. Description and location
The mountains of the Moon are mostly the result of impacts. This is especially evident if we look at the peaks that rises from the center of many craters.

ASTRONOMIC GEOLOGY: South craters of the Moon-Southern lunar Hemisphere features
Southern hemisphere of the Moon is inrough terrain, heavily crateredand with mountainous areas.
At the poles, the sun is always at small angles, so this is creating a unique environment, but also some difficulties in interpreting the geological region.
The southern hemisphere of the Moon craters are very different in size, appearance and how they were formed by impactsin the past.

We need to know that the Moon does not have its own fixedaxis, but is leaning forward and backward within amonth, making cratersin some periods to not always be seen the same.Thisphenomenon is called wobble.

There is great similarity between the surface of the planet Mercury and the Moon.In the inside the two bodies is other story.the first image is a picture of the Moon crater Schickard made through my 8 " Newtonian telescope, and the second one is a photo of craters on Mercury's surface,in wich the largest crater have striking resemblance to much of our Moon's crater Schickard.
Please share this to know if everyone thinks the same or if anyone has another opinion on this similarities.
