  Montes Carpatus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Montes Carpatus is a mountain range that forms the southern edge of the Mare Imbrium on the Moon.
They were named for the Carpathian Mountains in Central Europe.
About 100 kilometers south of the mountains is the well-known Copernicus crater, and the irregular outer ramparts of this crater stretch almost to the foothills of the Carpatus range.

The Carpathian Mountains are the eastern wing of the great central mountain system of Europe curving 1500 km (~900 miles) along the borders of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Romania, and the Ukraine.
The Carpathians, which only in a few places attain an altitude of over 2500 m, lack the bold peaks, the extensive snow-fields, the large glaciers, the high waterfalls and the numerous large lakes which are found in the Alps.
They are nowhere covered by perpetual snow, and glaciers do not exist, so that the Carpathians, even in their highest altitude, recall the middle region of the Alps, with which, however, they have many points in common as regards appearance, structure and flora.

The Carpathian Mountains are the eastern wing of the great central mountain system of Europe curving 1500 km along the borders of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Romania, and the Ukraine.
The outer Carpathian Mountains were the border of the Kingdom of Hungary from the 13th century to the early 20th century.
The valley of the March and Oder separates the Carpathians from the Silesian and Moravian chains, which belong to the middle wing of the great central mountain system of Europe.

 Moon Struck-Astronomy for Homeschool and Beginners
Because the Moon approximately follows the ecliptic and thus the full Moon must be opposite the Sun, the full Moon in the winter is high in the sky, and in the summer, low.
The edge of the Moon you see is then either the sunrise line for the period between new moon and full moon, or the sunset line for the period between full and new moon.
The highest mountain of the Moon is Mount Huygens, which is in the Mare Imbrum close tot he Apenniens; it has a height of 5.5 km.

To the north, the Carpathian Mountains ring the southern edge of the Mare Imbrium, and beyond them, one Crisium width away from Copernicus, the small class 1 Pytheas stands out well against its smooth, dark surroundings.

The Carpathian Mountains are the backbone of Central and Eastern Europe.
The value of the Carpathians cannot be overestimated: exceptionally rich in species diversity, the region supports species not found anywhere else in the world, and it is also the last European stronghold of large mammals, such as the brown bear, wolf and lynx (outside Russia).
The Carpathians play a crucial role in Central and Eastern Europe: forming the bridge between Europe’s northern forests and those to the south and west as well as being a vital catchment area for the whole region.

 Mare Imbrium - free-definition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The outermost ring of mountains has a diameter of 1300 km and is divided into several different ranges; the Carpathian Mountains to the south, the Apennine Mountains to the southwest, and the Caucasus Mountains to the east.
The ring mountains are not as well developed to the north and west, and it appears they were simply not raised as high in these regions by the Imbrium impact.
The middle ring of mountains forms the Alps and the mountainous regions near the craters Archimedes and Plato.

By exploring the mountains through the perspective of the people who live in their shadows, I wanted to understand what drives people’s veneration for the mountains, and how the veneration practices vary among different ethnic populations or religions.
In science terms, a mountain is defined from the point of view of the geologist, of the ecologist, or of the geographer.
Although mountain revelation is an internal experience that each of us lives in different ways, and thus the experience cannot be captured in words, I feel that at least the story of my travels, with moments of joy or sorrow, and deep searching, can find a resonance in the souls of those who search.

Despite their great difference in distance, the angular size of the Moon and the Sun are almost exactly the same as seen from the Earth's surface, and the shadow of the Moon sometimes reaches the surface of the Earth.
Because the Moon's orbit is tilted slightly with respect to the earth sun line, and because the Moon's orbit is slightly eccentric, there is not a solar eclipse at every new moon.
As the Moon revolves around the Earth, the point on the surface where the Earth is directly overhead moves east and west and north and south.

The full moon that occurs closest to the Autumnal Equinox (first day of fall) is known as a Harvest Moon.

 [E] - Howling at the Moon : Learning to Live With Wolves in the Romanian Foothills (by Chuck Todaro)
Some 2,000 years ago, the barbarous Carpathian rulers known as the Dacians charged into battle against the invading Roman forces behind wolf-head banners.
Today the Carpathian wilderness is home to more than a third of Europe’s large carnivore population, or 3,500 wolves, which is nearly as many as found in the entire U.S. The wolf is a major player in Romanian folklore, and retains a supernatural reputation.
Christoph Promberger of the Carpathian Large Carnivore Project (CLCP), who has been researching the large carnivores of the southern Carpathian Mountains for the past 10 years, contends that his greatest finding is how easily carnivores can co-exist with people.
