Hippalus

Move your mouse over the picture to see the names of the various features.

Mare Humorum, at 3,900 million years, is one of the youngest features in this picture.  Hippalus and Agatharchides are both somewhat older but by an uncertain amount.  Cape Kelvin (in Latin Promontorium Kelvin - too long for the picture) is the isolated mountain (or island maybe!). The scale markers are approximately 100 Km north and east. The picture was taken with a ToUcam attached to my LX200 on 28th September 2005 at 03:31 UT, when the Moon was 24.7 days old.
