	Montes Apenninus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To the west of these mountains is a narrow gap where Mare Imbrium in the north joins Mare Insularum to the south.
		Further to the west are the Montes Carpatus mountains.
		From Eratosthenes, the mountains form an arcing chain that gradually bends from east to northeast, ending at Promontorium Fresnel at about latitude 29.5° N. Here is another gap where the Mare Imbrium to the west joins the Mare Serenitatis to the east.

	Apennine Mountains
		The Apennine Mountains stretch 1000 km from the north to the south of Italy along its east coast, forming the spine of the country.
		The mountains are mostly green and wooded, although the highest peak, Corno Grande (2912 m), is covered by a glacier.
		There is also a range of mountains on the Moon called the Apennine Mountains, beside the Mare Imbrium on which the Apollo 15 spacecraft landed.

	ASP: The Surface of the Moon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		An interplanetary chunk headed toward the Moon is accellerated by the Moon's gravity; astronomers' calculations indicate that an object falling from deep space will have a minimum speed of about 5,000 mph on impact.
		At that speed, the sudden collision of a meteoroid (as these cosmic pieces of debris are called) with the Moon's surface generates enough heat to vaporize much or all of itself and some of the ground it penetrates.
		Craters larger than about 10 kilometers across often have central peaks, which are hills or mountains pushed up by pressure within the Moon when the weight of the rocks that were blasted away was removed.

		The Moon was created when a rock the size of Mars slammed into Earth, shortly after the solar system began forming about 4.5 billion years ago, according to the leading theory.

		The thermal environment in orbit around the moon is similar to that of Mercury's since there is no atmosphere.

		Thus, the presence of mountains for lunar surface operations cannot be ignored.

		As a result this was a tricky landing for Dave Scott, and the module ended up coming to rest at a 10° angle, with one leg in a crater.
