	Mare Humorum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mare Humorum (the "sea of moisture") is a lunar mare.
		Humorum Basin is filled with a thick layer of mare basalt, believed to exceed 3 kilometers in thickness at the center of the basin.
		On the north edge of Mare Humorum is the large crater Gassendi, which was considered as a possible landing site for Apollo 17.

	Mare Humorum: where craters tell the story of basalt
		Mare Humorum, or 'Sea of Moisture', is a small circular mare on the lunar nearside, about 825 kilometres across.
		Humorum is filled with a thick layer of mare basalt, believed to exceed 3 kilometres in thickness at the centre of the basin.
		Mare Humorum is a scientifically interesting area because it allows the study of the relationships among lunar mare filling, mare basin tectonics, and global thermal evolution to the major mascon maria — regions of the moon's crust which contain a large amount of material denser than average for that area (Solomon, Head, 1980).

	A View of Mare Humorum from SMART-1
		AMIE obtained the top frame on 1 January 2006, from a distance of 1087 kilometres from the surface, with a ground resolution of 98 metres per pixel.
		Mare Humorum, or 'Sea of Moisture', is a small circular mare on the lunar nearside, about 825 kilometres across, filled with a thick layer of mare basalt, (possibly exceeding 3 kilometres in thickness at the centre of the basin).
		Mare Humorum is a scientifically interesting area because it allows the study of the relationships among lunar mare filling, mare basin tectonics, and global thermal evolution to the major mascon maria -- that are regions of the moon's crust which contain a large amount of material denser than average for that area.

		In the north, on the edge of Mare Imbrium lies Sinus Iridum (Rukl 10), the Bay of Rainbows.
		Mare Humorum is the centre of one of them, the Humorum basin.
		On the northern rim of Mare Humorum lies Gassendi, a 110-kilometer wide crater with numerous rilles, hills and a group of central peaks on its floor.

	Irene Antonenko, Ph.D. Thesis: Chapter 1
		The area west of Mare Humorum is located approximately 1100 km east of the center of Orientale, and includes the regions surrounding Mare Humorum, as well as areas slightly further west and north (Figures 1, 4, 10).
		In the area west of Mare Humorum, Orientale ejecta is suspected to be the prime obscuring material for the cryptomafic deposit, thus dark-haloed craters were again assessed as a function of distance from Orientale.
		The presence of Mare Humorum directly east of this area shows that the bulk of volcanism here actually occurred after the emplacement of the obscuring deposit and took place in the interior of the Humorum basin.

	eSky: Mare Humorum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		A relatively small circular mare close to the Moon's western limb.
		It is about half the size of its neighbouring sea, the Mare Nubium, but both of these are dwarfed by the immense Oceanus Procellarum to the north.
		On the southeasten shores of the sea are the remains of a crater, Hippalus, whose floor is etched with rilles.

	Mare Humorum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		It began with the formation of a primitive igneous crust between 4.6 and 4.5 billion years ago and ended, together with the initial phase of heavy cratering, 3.9 billion years ago.
		The Humorum basin, and several other lunar basins, were formed in a period which ended around 4.1 billion years ago.
		It did not fill with mare material until the later Eratosthenian era, between 3.9 and 3.2 billion years ago.

		The area around Mare Humorum is particularly rich when near the terminator.
		To the southwest of Gassendi, Rupes Liebig and its extension, Mersenius rille II, traced a north-south chord across the mare as far south as Mersenius G. Mersenius II was less distinct, but I could trace Mersenius I all the way from just north of Mersenius D to about 16 degrees south latitude.
		On the far northern edge of Mare Humorum, just northeast of Gassendi, is an interesting structure standing out in relief against the smooth plain of the mare.

	Mare Humorum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		This image shows Mare Humorum and the western edge of Mare Nubium.
		These fractures are believed to mark a bending of the lunar surface due to the weight of Mare Humorum.
		Such a sinking of the mare may also explain the two large, partly flooded craters that seem to slope into Mare Humorum.

	ESA - Space Science - SMART-1 maps Humorum edge - where Highlands and Mare mix
		The Mare Humorum impact basin is 825 kilometres across.
		The Humorum basin is filled with a layer of basalt, likely thicker than three kilometres at its centre.
		It was filled with mare material - basaltic flood eruptions caused by very large meteoroid impacts - only during the later Eratosthenian era, in a period comprised between 3.9 and 3.2 billion years ago.

		Second, the crust seems to be thicker on the lunar farside than on the nearside.
		They also explain why small mare patches are grouped together on the farside.
		Thus, mare volcanism is most likely inside these basins, especially where younger craters have dug into the basin floor.

		The Mare itself was flat with several craterlets, 3 running in a straight line.

		Crisium is an intermediate to young basin that still preserves a massive rim nearly all around the mare.
		Interestingly, the Oppel mare ridge - the wrinkle ridge between Swift and the basin rim and continuing on down between Picard and the rim – marks a 350 m step down to the central part of the mare.
		The mare surface to the west of the ridge is 4100 m high, the ridge crest is 3960 m, and the mare to the east is at 3750 m.

	Gassendi crater clue on the thermal history of Mare Humorum
		Gassendi is an impact feature located on the near side of the Moon, at the northern edge of Mare Humorum.
		The western part of the crater floor, away from the geometric continuation of the western edge of Mare Humorum, is composed of highlands-rich material.
		The difference between the western and eastern side of the Gassendi floor-fractured crater may be strongly linked to the early thermal history of Mare Humorum.

		For the Gassendi/Letronne region four minute videos (captured at 2 frames/second) were obtained every 8 minutes, while the Mare Humorum region videos were 3 minutes in duration.
		The last hour of images were of poor quality as the Moon was very low in the western sky.
		The panorama image at the bottom was constructed from successive images of Mare Humorum and Gassendi/Letronne.
