North side of the moon. Geologic map of the moon based on data collected from the Lunar orbiter, Mariner 10 and Zond 7 spacecraft. Regions are coloured according to reflectivity and correspond to surface features, such as major impact craters, basins, plains, faults, mountains and other landmarks. This view of the moon reveals how the far side of the moon (upper half of image) is much more heavily cratered compared to the near side (lower half), where the smoother basin floors of the Mare Imbrium and Mare Frigoris (both coloured red) dominate.
