	Mare Tranquillitatis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To the southeast is Mare Fecunditatis, to the northeast is Mare Crisium, to the northwest is Mare Serenitatis, and to the south is Mare Nectaris.
		The "Bay of Roughness" is an area of lunar mare that extends southward from the Mare Tranquillitatis until it joins the Mare Nectaris to the southeast.
		On the border between Sinus Asperitatis and the Mare Nectaris is the Mädler crater.

	Mare Nectaris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sea of Nectar (Mare Nectaris) is a small lunar mare or sea (a volcanic lava plain noticeably darker than the rest of the moon's surface) located between the Sea of Tranquillity (Mare Tranquillatis) and the Sea of Fecundity (Mare Fecunditatis).
		Montes Pyrenaeus borders the mare to the west and the large crater near the south center of the mare is known as Rosse.
		The mare material is approximately 1000m in depth, and mainly of the Nectarian and Lower Imbrian epochs, with the mare material of the Upper Imbrian epoch.

		Nectaris is the nearest large impact basin, a distance of less than 200 kilometers from the basin rim to the landing site.
		Mare Imbrium was studied on Apollo 15 and its ejecta was studied on Apollo 14.
		Mare Nectaris, on the other hand, was not studied on any other Apollo mission, so Apollo 16 samples are important contributors to our understanding of the history of the Nectaris region.

		About the craters, we see that the margin south of the Nectaris sea it is dominated from Fracastorius, which it has a diameter of 100 km and it is encircled by high walls 2400 mt. In its bottom there are some furrows and small craters.
		The western side of this circular plain concurs us to observe three large craters structures whose different conformation of the bottom it is matter of study in order to comprise dynamics of the catastrophic events that in remote ages upset the surface of our satellite: Theophilus, Cyrillus and Catharina craters.
		To east instead the chain of the Pyrenees mounts and a moderately crater zone delimit the Nectaris sea from the Fecounditatis sea.

	Fracastorius (crater) - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Fracastorius is the lava-flooded remnant of an ancient lunar impact crater located at the southern edge of Mare Nectaris.
		To the northwest of this formation lies the Beaumont crater, while to the northeast is Rosse.
		The lava that formed Mare Nectaris also invaded this crater, so the structure now forms a bay-like extension.

		Rupes Recta is a linear fault scarp in the Mare Nubium to the South West of the three-crater sequence of Ptolemarus, Alphonsus, and Arzachel, and is sometimes known as the "Straight Wall".
		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.
		Intersecting Mare Nectaris to the south is the 128km wide walled plain Fracastorius, whose remaining walls and slopes (lost to Mare Nectaris in the north) are dotted with craters and small craterlets.

		Mare Humorum is the one nearer the "rim" of the Moon.
		Mare Crisium (literally, the Sea of Crisies) is just below, and out towards the edge of the Moon, then Mare Tranquillitatis, the landing site of Apollo 11, is just below, and back towards the center of the Moon's face.
		Mare Serentatis attaches to Mare Tranquillitatis, and Mare Crisium is alone, out towards the outer visible area of the Moon, nearly at the lunar equator.

	LPOD - 2004-11-05 - Lunar Photo of the Day
		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.
		The ill-defined, somewhat dark patches near the center of Nectaris and along it southeastern shore appear to be spectrally similar to the surrounding medium-titanium basalts, but they are darker.

	Mare Nectaris (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Mare Nectaris (the "sea of nectar") is a lunar mare locatedwithin the Nectaris basin on the lunar nearside.
		The basin material is of the Nectarian and Lower Imbrian epochs, with the mare material of the Upper Imbrian epoch.The crater Theophilus on the northeastern side of the mare is of the Eratosthenian epoch.
		Thus,the crater is younger than the mare to its southeast.

		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 Oct. 13 view shows a big slab of ground (labeled B for block) that casts a shadow to the north and is bounded on the south by a long, bright line that passes through Brenner.
		The previous night's view (remember these are sunset images so the terminator hides land to the east every night) reveals that the low land to the north of block B is partially flat and covered with smooth material.

		Thus, they were called " mare " (pronounced "mahr-ay").
		Finally, the lunar mare are primarily found on one side of the Moon.
		Thus, the very flat and smooth mare surfaces imply that mare lavas were very fluid.

		For example, mare basalts are mainly confined in the topographic depressions produced at the centers of these basins.
		While the basalt load causes the central portion of the mare basin to subside, more distant regions may actually be flexed upward by the resulting ground motion.
		The Altai Scarp is the main topographic rim on the southwestern side of the Nectaris Basin.

	Palaeos Hadean: The Nectarian Era
		The Nectarian Era is named for the Mare Nectaris ("Sea of Nectar"), an old basin on the southwest part of the lunar Nearside.
		The Nectaris Basin was created by the impact of perhaps thirteen large bodies within a region only 860 km wide.
		The current "best guess" is that these objects were derived from the breakup of the planet which produced the asteroid belt, a result of tidal stresses caused by a close approach to Jupiter.
