	Mare Serenitatis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The material surrounding the mare is of the Lower Imbrian epoch, while themare material is of the Upper Imbrian epoch.
		The mare basalt covers a majority of the basin and overflows into Lacus Somniorum to the northeast.
		The ring feature to the west of the mare is indistinct, except for Montes Haemus, The Serenitatis connects with Mare Tranquillitatis to the southeast.

		The region of the Moon near the border between Mare Serenitatis and Mare Tranquillitatis is one of the most geologically and compositionally complex areas of the nearside (Figure 1).
		The dark ring of outer Serenitatis mare material was interpreted as the unburied portion of an older, faulted mare surface, effectively reversing the albedo vs. age correlation postulated by previous workers.
		In the particular region that we focused on, we were able to detect and map variations in mare basalt TiO2 abundance, in the abundance of fresh highlands materials emplaced on mare surfaces, and in the degree of spectral maturity of craters, ejecta, and mare.

		Mare lava, for example, is exposed in the floor of a larger (90-km-diameter) crater on the west rim of Gagarin.
		As lunar mare magma rose through the subsurface from a zone of melting at depth and reached the debris in the two crater floors, it may have lifted the debris and fractured it into segments l/2 to 2 km across.
		The crater is largely filled by the younger mare unit; because the graben transects the crater rim and its trend is influenced by the crater, the graben is probably younger.

		Along with various synthesized sounds, the material for 'Mare Serenitatis' also consists of two types of concrete sounds that happen to be used quite regularly in electronic music: birdsong and thunder.
		Even though 'Mare Serenitatis' clearly consists of three main parts, the piece in fact proceeds in one single flowing movement.
		Mare Serenitatis was composed in 2000 in the composer’s studio.

		AMIE obtained the images on 18 March 2006 from distances between 1257 and 1213 kilometres from the surface, with a ground resolution ranging between 114 and 110 metres per pixel.
		Mare Serenitatis is one of the lunar maria, that are vast lava plains on the lunar surface.
		It formed between 3.9 and 3.8 thousand million years ago, a period in which the Moon was heavily bombarded by asteroids and the major impact basins on the Moon were formed.

	Astrophotography by Anthony Ayiomamitis
		Mare Serenitatis is virtually a circular formation measuring approximately 650 km in diameter in all directions and covers an area of slightly over 300,000 square km.
		It is one of the smoothest mare, for the mare floor is characterized with its largest crater, Bessel, whose diameter only reaches 16 km.
		The greatest characteristic features of Mare Serenitatis are perhaps the circular and walled plain formation Posidonius (95 km in diameter) on the northeast periphery and Dorsa Smirnov immediately to the west of Posidonius running north-south (130 km in length, 20 km in width).

	Mare Tranquillitatis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The mare material within the basin consists of basalt in the intermediate to young age group of the Upper Imbrian epoch.
		Theirregualr topography in and near this basin results from the intersection of the Tranquillitatis, Nectaris, Crisium, Fecunditatis, and Serenitatis basins with two throughgoing rings of the Procellarum basin.
		Mare Serenitatis is seen in the upper left of the photo below.

	Mare Tranquillitatis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mare Tranquillitatis ("sea of tranquility") is a lunar mare that sits within the Tranquillitatis basin on Earth's moon.
		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.
		Mare tranquilitatis is also the name of a composition of music by composer Vangelis on his 1976 album, Albedo 0.39 and is in reference to the selenographical term.

		Dark mare materials separate the rest of Mare Serenitatis from the rugged highlands to the east.
		The Taurus-Littrow valley and its immediate surroundings have a lower albedo than most of Mare Serenitatis; the low albedo of the valley floor and the presence of dark "halos" around some of the craters led many scientists to believe, prior to the landing, that products associated with energetic volcanic eruptions should be present.
		Mare Serenitatis is visible at the top of the picture, above the mountains.

		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 plains were formed by low viscosity basalt lavas being erupted in large volumes.
		Mare Orientale, the youngest large lunar basin, is only partly filled with basaltic lavas.
		There are no direct measurements of the mare thicknesses, but radar sounding (Peeples et al, 1978) found discontinuities at 1.6-2km (Mare Serenitatis); 1.4km (center of Mare Serenitatis); 0.8-1.0km (peripheral shelf of Mare Serenitatis).

		From here, due south by one Crisium length, is the rayless ring of class 5 Posidonius, on the north-east shore of the Mare Serenitatis.
		Half-way up Serenitatis, about one Posidonius width in from the western "shore", is the disproportionately bright spot created by the tiny young crater Linne, which is only one mile wide.
		To the south of Linne are the striking twins in name - Menelaus, on the southern edge of Serenitatis, and Manilius, to its west-south-west on the northern edge of the Mare Vaporum.

	Mare Crisium (Sea of Crises)
		Mare Crisium is a relatively young mare region, but older than the two most recently-formed maria, Imbrium and Orientale.
		Mare Crisium is the site of a gravitational anomaly known as a "mascon," or mass concentration.
		The mascon is presumably the fragments of the asteroid or comet whose impact created the mare basin buried beneath the surface.

		Mare areas are of two types, those that fill multiringed circular basins and those that fill irregular areas.
		Another feature of Mare Serenitatis is the nearly continuous ring of dark mare material that occupies the outer part of its floor.
		As elsewhere around the outer part of Mare Serenitatis, the rilles and the dark mantle in this area were originally thought to be younger than the lighter mare to the north.

		Ancora più a sud ed in prossimità del confine col mare Tranquillitatis vi sono i crateri Dawes e Plinius, quest'ultimo si trova nei pressi del promontorio di Cape Acherusia situato all'estremità meridionale del mare Serenitatis.
		Along the eastern side between Posidonius and the Taurus mounts the is Le Monnier crater, whose the west wall probably was submergeeed by lavic material spillage to the age of its formation or because of taken place meteoritics impacts in the adjacent area.
		The Serenitatis sea confines to the West with the large circular basin of the Imbrium sea (890.000 kmq) while to south east with the area comprised between the Argaeus mounts and cape Acherusia in the Tranquillitatis sea.

	Lunar History
		One of the regions should be heavily cratered and another should be in either the Mare tranquillitatis (Sea of Tranquility) or the Mare Serenitatis (Sea of Serenity).
		Likewise, you can determine the rate of cratering since a particular Mare was created by counting the number of craters on that Mare (since the creation of the Mare must have destroyed all previous craters).
		The age of the Mare Serenitatis is 3.87 billion years.
