The edge of M. Nectaris is dominated by a prominent pair of craters, Capella and Isidorus.
The double, pear-shaped crater Torricelli and the small crater Censorinus, which is one of the brightest objects on the Moon, also contribute to the character of the region.

  Louis Daguerre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre (1787 - 1851) was the French artist and chemist who is recognized for his invention of the Daguerreotype process of photography.
Daguerre announced the latest perfection of the Daguerreotype, after years of experimentation, in 1839, with the French Academy of Sciences announcing the process on January 9 of that year.
Daguerre's patent was acquired by the French Government, and on August 19, 1839 the French Government announced the invention was a gift "Free to the World."

To the west-northwest is Mädler crater, and beyond it to the west is the prominent Theophilus crater.
To the north in the rugged continental area between the maria is the Isidorus crater.

 Shackleton (crater)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Shackleton is a lunar crater that lies at the south pole of the Moon.
This suggests that the crater floors could potentially be "mined" for deposits of hydrogen in water form, a commodity that is expensive to deliver directly from the Earth.
About 120 kilometers from the crater lies the 5-km-tall Malapert Mountain, a peak that is perpetually visible from the Earth, and which could serve as a radio relay station when suitably equipped.

 #12 - Lunar Imaging
For example, craters and mountains are best seen when they are near the terminator (the line separating the light and dark sides of the Moon), where they cast the largest shadows.
Craters which come later are going to overlay craters, which were there originally.
The diameter of a crater is about 10 to 50 times the diameter of the meteorite depending on the mass and velocity of the meteorite.

Crater Gassendi’s rim on the north edge of Mare Humorum begins to show greater relief, but a peppering of tiny craters appear already as such almost to the sunlit limb.
Crater Tycho in the south looks as similar: a round fl “inkwell.” The most curious thing seen with the Moon at this age now is the shallow crater pair of Perry & Guericke in a Mare Cognitum.
Crater Macrobius a little further west of it has its floor 3/4 in shadow, but the more closeby rim of even smaller crater Tisserand is barely catching sunlight, as if sinking below an encroaching inky surface of stark fluid flness.

The marked irregularity of the pattern southeast of the crater probably was caused by topographic irregularities that deflected the radially outward movement of the ejecta.
The fault scarp is coincident with the diffuse narrow band of shadow extending between the arrows; the area west of the scarp, the floor of the graben, is noticeably lower than the area to the east.
This crater was excavated in the floor of the large near-side crater Alphonsus on March 24, 1965, by the Ranger 9 spacecraft.

The whole Mare is dotted with craters and traversed by lava snakes, but most promenant are the vast bright rays that shoot across from craters Copernicus, off the picture to the south (although the mountains around it, Montes Carpatus, are clear), and Aristillus, to the Northeast of Archimedes on the lower right of the picture.
The southernmost part of the crater wall has been submerged into the lava of the Mare, and although most of Gassendi's crater floor is lighter than Mare Humorum, the part adjacent to this break in the wall is the same colour, apparently formed of lava spilling in from the south.
On the north-east wall of the crater is Porter, a somewhat smaller crater with a central mountain.

Perhaps his most modern comment was that the large circular maria were identical in character to the somewhat smaller lunar craters, thus all were part of a sequence.
Although he believed his observations supported a volcanic origin for craters, he made many other perceptive and correct inferences such as noting that the Rook Mountains on the west limb of the Moon marked the rim a giant farside crater several hundred miles across - a pre-discovery of the Orientale basin!
Golbert recognized that lunar craters were of impact origin and that the circular maria were within giant craters.

It also has some lesser known ray craters west of Mare Nectaris, but perhaps more interesting are the dark splotches.
Because of the good libration the mare material within the limb crater Humboldt is well seen, and there is a colony of dark-floored craters near Magelhaens at the western shore of Fecunditatis.
On the northern edge of Mare Nectaris is a very dark arc on the rim of Daguerre - this is a volcanic pyroclastic deposit.

 Talbot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
However in January 1839 he was shocked to read an announcement by Arago and Daguerre claiming that Daguerre had developed a means of obtaining permanent images from a camera obscura.
Talbot quickly moved to publicise his own work sending examples of his photographs to the Royal Institution in London less than a week after he heard of the French announcement, and he wrote to Arago claiming priority a couple of days later.
One was simply that Daguerre made his process freely available while Talbot charged a fee for anyone to use his, and secondly Daguerre's process produced much sharper image.

 William Cranch Bond (1789-1859)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
With this instrument, Bond made extensive studies of sunspots, the Orion Nebula M42 and planet Saturn; in 1848, together with his son, George Phillips Bond, he discovered Saturn's moon Hyperion, at that time the 8th known moon of the ring planet (it was also independently discovered in the same year by William Lassell).
William and George Bond were also the first in America to use Daguerre's photographic process for astrophotography: In the night of July 16-17, 1850, they worked with J.A. Whipple, a photographer associated with the Massachusetts General Hospital, to obtain the first Daguerreotype of a star, Vega, a 100 seconds exposure.
W.C. Bond and his son, G.P. Bond have been honored by naming a moon crater Bond (33.2S, 36.0W, 110.6 km diameter, in 1973).

 The World Almanac E-Newsletter: September 2005
In 1980, University of California geologist Walter Alvarez and his father, Luis Alvarez, put forth a theory that an asteroid or comet crashed into Earth long ago, hurling enough debris into the air to block out sunlight and cool the atmosphere, killing many plants and animals, including the dinosaurs.
It took one year to date the site, which had been named the Chicxulub crater, but after scientists used a new and very accurate method of radiometric dating called argon-argon dating, they determined that rock in the crater was formed about 64.98 million years ago, which was exactly when the dinosaurs disappeared.
The daguerreotype was invented by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre in 1839, in France.
