Description
West side of the moon. Geologic map of the moon based on photographs from the Lunar orbiter spacecraft and albedo (surface reflectivity) data from the Russian Zond 8 spacecraft. Regions are coloured according to reflectivity and correspond to surface features, such as major impact craters, basins, plains, faults, mountains and other landmarks. The large bull's-eye structure (red and blue, left of centre) is the Mare Orientale, an impact basin measuring 900 kilometres across.
