	Mare Orientale: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		The surrounding basin material is of the Lower Imbrian[?] epoch, with the mare material being of the Upper Imbrian[?] epoch.
		The mare is about 600 miles across and was formed by the impact of an asteroid sized object.
		Unlike most other basins on the Moon, Orientale is relatively unflooded by mare basalts, exposing much of the basin structure to view; the central portion of Mare Orientale is covered by a thin layer of mare basalt probably less than 1 kilometer deep, much less than in other nearside mare basins.

	Mare Imbrium Information
		Mare Imbrium, Latin for "Sea of Showers" or "Sea of Rains", is a vast lunar mare (mahr'-ay) filling a basin on Earth's Moon.
		Mare Imbrium is between 3700 million and 3900 million years old and is the youngest of the lunar maria except for Mare Orientale.
		The mare material is thought to be about 5 km deep, giving the Imbrium Basin a total depth of 12 km; it is thought that the original crater left by the Imbrium impact was as much as 100 km deep, but the floor of the basin bounced back upward immediately afterward.

		Mare areas are shown in fl, and terra or highland areas are shown without overprint as they appear on "The Earth's Moon" [courtesy of the National Geographic Society].
		The unequal distribution of mare materials is shown to advantage on this equal area projection.
		Also clearly evident is the tendency of mare materials to be concentrated within the margins of large multiringed circular basins.

	The Moon
		Messier A and B in Mare Fecunditatis are attributed to a low-angle impact, possibly of a "double" object.
		Mare Orientale is the youngest multiring impact basin on the Moon.
		The earliest lavas erupted during the "main phase" of mare volcanism were the high titanium basalts of Maria Tranquillititas and Serenitatis (basalts returned from Apollo 11 and 17 missions, respectively) between 3.8 and 3.6 billion years ago.

		Mare basalts and, locally, plains materials bury or partly bury parts of the Orientale Group, and craters of late Imbrian age and younger are superposed on its various formations.
		The innermost ring of Mare Orientale has a gentle inward facing scarp that appears to be a structural terrace marking the steep part of the original cavity into which basalt was extruded and later partly withdrawn.
		Orientale, the last multiringed basin, was formed early in lunar history during the waning stages of high impact flux by a large body probably impacting the surface obliquely from the northeast.

	Lacus Autumni Information
		Lacus Autumni (latin for "Lake of Autumn") is a region of lunar mare that lies near the western limb of the Moon.
		Along this side of the lunar surface is a huge impact basin centered on the Mare Orientale.
		Two concentric mountain rings surround the Orientale mare, the inner ring being named Montes Rook and an outer ring called the Montes Cordillera.

		A portion of Mare Orientale is visible during favorable librations which tilt the SW portion of the moon toward earth.
		In this picture, the edge of the 1 one of Orientale's 2 concentric rims, the 930km diameter Cordillera mountains is clearly visible.
		Located in the southern section of the Mare, Rosse is interesting with a plume of light colored ejecta spreading to the right of the picture in a conical shape.

	Irene Antonenko, Ph.D. Thesis: Chapter 1
		Ejecta from Orientale is suspected to be present in the obscuring layer, suggesting that these cryptomafic deposits may be Early Imbrian in age.
		Mare materials represent less than 1% of the total volume of the lunar crust [Head 1975a], however, they are much more important than their abundance suggests.
		The area west of Oceanus Procellarum is located approximately 950 km north-east of the center of Orientale basin, occupying the area near the shores of Oceanus Procellarum, between the craters Grimaldi and Einstein, with some extensions further west (Figures 1, 4, 14).

		This is Mare Humboldtianum (Humboldt's Sea) presented excellently, having been brought into view by a whopping libration in longitude and latitude favouring the Moon's northeastern libration zone.
		Orientale is a more elusive feature since most of it lies on the Moon's far-side.
		In all, the Orientale basin occupies a surface area equal to the Earth's Caspian Sea.

		In the scope, we observed Grimaldi, Aristarchus, Mare Frigoris, and Mare Humorum in the earthshine.
		In the lunar morning sky Mare Crisium and crater Langrenus were the most blatant features in the north.
		In towards the "center of the clock" from Grimaldi, two separate maria are discernible: Mare Nubium on the terminator side (east) and Mare Humorum was the western one.

		The concentric, circular Orientale basin, 600 miles across, is near the center; the near side is to the right, the far side to the left.
		These, like the small dark Mare Orientale in the center of the basin, formed over 3 billion years ago as basaltic lava flows.
		At the lower left, among the southern cratered highlands of the far side, is the South-Pole-Aitken basin, similar to Orientale but twice as great in diameter and much older and more degraded by cratering and weathering.

		In contrast, the mare typically occur in the bottoms of very large, very old impact craters.
		Thus, most of the mare are nearly circular in shape.

	OL5 Space and Robotics 2002 - [TITLE]
		We recommend the lunar Prime Meridian bisect Mare Orientale, a fixed lunar "bull's eye" feature at what is now 95°W 20°S, and that longitude increase prograde (to the east) from 0° to 360°, adhering to the Planetocentric standard recommended in 1974 (NASA JPL 1995; Vaniman et al.
		An interesting effect of moving the Prime Meridian to Mare Orientale is that today's central indicator, Mösting A, will be even closer to indicating its cardinal point, at 3°12'43.2"S (no change), 90°12'39.6"E (96% closer in longitude to cardinal point 90°E).
		By relocating the Prime Meridian to Mare Orientale, all nearside longitudes progress consecutively from 0° to 180° and farside longitudes increase progressively from 180° to 360° (= 0°).

		Sono gli abitanti di alcuni villaggi del distretto, inondati dalla colata di fango bollente fuoriuscita dagli impianti di prospezione di gas che si trovano nella zona - e gli agitanti di altri villaggi vicini, i prossimi che rischiano di essere sommersi.
		I manifestanti chiedevano che per fermare la catastrofe, il fango sia deviato in mare: il distretto di Sidoarjo affaccia sullo stretto che separa la punta nord-orientale giavanese dall'isola di Madura.
		E la stagione delle piogge incalza: così si parla di scaricare i fanghi in mare deviandoli nel fiume Porong che costeggia la zona.

		Mare Orientale, as seen from the Earth, during a favorable libration (as the Moon goes around us, its orbital speed varies, but its rotation doesn't, so sometimes we can see a little around one side or the other; this change in our view is called libration).
