List of craters on the Moon

	Mare Nubium
		Mare Nubium ("sea of clouds") is a lunar mare in the Nubium basin on the Moon's near side.
		The crater to the east of the mare is Bullialdus[?], which is of the Eratosthenian[?] Epoch.
		The crater that sits on the southern rim of the mare is Pitatus[?].

	Mare Nubium (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Mare Nubium is a large, irregular shaped mare to the east of Mare Humorum.
		Alongside this ray on the mare is the crater Bullialdius.
		The northern portion of Mare Nubium is split in two by a tongue of higher ground.

	Mare Nubium (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Mare Nubium is in the Nubium basin on the moon's near side.
		This means the crater is younger than the mare it sits in The crater that sits on the southern rim of the mare is Pitatus.
		Mare Cognitum and Fra Mauro are seen toward the top.

	Mare Nubium (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Compositional variations in the ejecta blankets of several craters were used to estimate the maximum mare thickness at the time of impact.
		We are in agreement with previous studies on maria thickness variations [7]: a possible thickening of the basalt layers in the centre of the Nubium basin (~17°W 23°S), the northern eastern region (~10°W 20°S), and the northern border (~18°W 17°S).
		We are also reporting two areas of mare thickening in Mare Cognitum: one just north of Dorney D (26°W 12°S) and another near the middle of the basin (23°W 10°S).

	LPOD - Lunar Photo of the Day - February 7, 2004
		KC Pau's low sun view of eastern Mare Nubium looks like a messy lava sheet where most of the movement may have been vertical.
		Mare ridges - or the more descriptive term, wrinkle ridges - clearly trace out a buried rim of the impact crater (Ancient Thebit) cut by the Straight Wall.
		Shadows from these draped ridges clearly reveal that the surface inside the buried rim is lower than Mare Nubium itself.

	Ages and stratigraphy of mare basalts in Oceanus Procellarum, Mare Nubium, Mare Cognitum, and Mare Insularum
		Ages and stratigraphy of mare basalts in Oceanus Procellarum, Mare Nubium, Mare Cognitum, and Mare Insularum
		Accurate estimates of mare basalt ages are necessary to place constraints on the duration and the flux of lunar volcanism as well as on the petrogenesis of lunar mare basalts and their relationship to the thermal evolution of the Moon.
		Older basalts occur preferentially along the northwestern margin of Oceanus Procellarum and in the southeastern regions of the studied area, i.e., in Mare Cognitum and Mare Nubium.

	ASTR 121, O'CONNELL. LUNAR TOPOGRAPHY
		The crater is 107 km in diameter and is centered at 9.7 N, 20.1 W. In the foreground is Mare Imbrium, peppered with secondary crater chains and elongated craters due to the Copernicus impact.
		The smoother mare surface is in contrast to the rough highland area at the top of the frame.
		The large crater near the center of the image is the 20 km diameter Pytheas, at 20.5 N, 20.6 W. At the upper edge of Mare Imbrium are mountains (Montes Carpatus) produced by the Imbrium impact.

	Seas of the Moon
		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.

	Mare Humorum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Mare Humorum is a small circular mare on the lunar nearside.
		The mountains surrounding Mare Humorum mark the edge of an old impact basin.
		Such a sinking of the mare may also explain the two large, partly flooded craters that seem to slope into Mare Humorum.

		Second, the crust seems to be thicker on the lunar farside than on the nearside.
		These differences should make it harder for mare magmas to reach the surface on the lunar farside.
		They also explain why small mare patches are grouped together on the farside.

	The Moon
		Mare Crisium, or the Sea of Crises, is located in the north-east corner of the moon and is the size of Great Britain.
		West of the Ptolemaus trio is Mare Nubium (Sea of Clouds) with the very prominent crater Bullialdus near its left edge.
		South of Mare Humorum and close to the edge of the moon is the long crater Scheckard.

	Lunar Geography
		Shown here is a map of the major lunar mare.
		The map also shows a clear lack of major mare on the lunar farside.
		Thus, mare volcanism is most likely inside these basins, especially where younger craters have dug into the basin floor.

		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.

	Ptolemaeus Region
		The region is bordered to the west by Mare Nubium and to the north by Mare Insularum, while the highlands extend well to the east and south.
		The highlands area is littered with craters and the remains of craters almost obliterated by Imbrian sculpture and, at the margin, by mare formation.
		Following the emplacement of the basins, mare flooding completed the job of obscuring and modifying the craters in the area to the north and west.

		In Mare Nubium, near the terminator the outline of Bullialdus is visible, with Bullialdus A and B just to the south of the crater rim.
		The Lunar surface south of Mare Nubium is heavily cratered.

	17. Catena Davy (Imbrium Basin Ejecta) Mare Nubium, Moon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The linear features in this area of the Moon are part of the ejecta deposit of the Imbrium impact basin, which is located roughly 1500 kilometers to the north and formed 3.85 billion years ago.
		These craters have smooth dark floors and were partially filled by mare lava plains associated with the nearby Mare Nubium.
		The unusual chain of craters at bottom, called Catena Davy, may be a chain of volcanic craters or a chain of secondary craters formed by the large Orientale impact basin located 2000 kilometers to the west.

	SPACE.com -- Not So Picture Perfect: Proposed Lunar Landing Site Has Drawbacks
		The North pole lies just 600 miles north of the North coast of Mare Frigoris, whereas the South pole is 1300 some miles south of the southern coasts of Mare Humorum, Nubium, and Nectaris.
		The nearside mare complex embraces all the nearside maria except Crisium in one interlinked area of relatively easy to traverse terrain and represents 39% of nearside.
		This means perhaps 200 miles or so from the North coast of Mare Frigoris to the nearest likely north polar ice field, and 900 miles or so from the South coast of Mare Nubium to the nearest plausible south polar ice field.

	Sky and Telescope -- Touring the Moon with binoculars
		Early telescope users and mapmakers in the 17th century thought these dark markings were similar to Earth's bodies of water and gave them fanciful names like Mare Nectaris, "Sea of Nectar," and Mare Nubium, "Sea of Clouds." Today we know that the Moon is an airless, waterless, and lifeless world.
		When the Moon is a slender crescent in the western sky after dusk, we see the features near the right-hand edge of the map.
		After first quarter Mare Imbrium and Mare Nubium appear, and just before full, Oceanus Procellarum and Mare Humorum come into view.

		NASA astronomers watched it form: "On May 2, 2006, a meteoroid hit the Moon's Sea of Clouds (Mare Nubium) with 17 billion joules of kinetic energy--that's about the same as 4 tons of TNT," says Bill Cooke, the head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office in Huntsville, AL.
		Using a computerized telescope built by Rob Suggs and Wesley Swift of the Marshall Space Flight Center, Cooke's group is monitoring the night side of the Moon "as often as ten times a month, whenever the lunar phase is between 15 and 50 percent."
