Topic: Montes Carpatus

 Mountains of Mare Imbrium   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The Imbrium Basin is surrounded by three concentric rings of mountains, uplifted by the colossal impact event that excavated it.
The outermost ring of mountains has a diameter of 1300 km and is divided into several different ranges; the Montes Carpatus to the south, the Montes Apenninus to the southwest, and the Montes Caucasus to the east.
The middle ring of mountains forms the Montes Alpes and the mountainous regions near the craters Archimedes and Plato.

 Lunar observing report may 10, 2003
Near the terminator, in the upper half of the picture, you see Plato, Mare Imbrium, the Montes Apeninnus, Erathosthenes and Copernicus.
Slightly to the west of the Montes Teneriffe lies a lonely mountain, Mons Pico (Rukl 11).
To the North of Copernicus lie the Montes Carpatus, the crater Pytheas and the Crater Lambert (Rukl 20).

The Montes Alpes and Montes Apenninus region, March 18th 2005.
The Montes Apenninus curve up from Copernicus, and Vallis Alpes is visible at the top of the image, in the Montes Alpes.
The small crater in the bottom left of the image is called Bancroft, and to the north are the Montes Spitzbergen.

 Earth's Moon -- Apollo 17   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
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 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 the Mare Imbrium are the Montes Carpatus.
The distance from the lower edge of the frame to the center of Copernicus is about 400 km.

 Mare Imbrium (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The ring Mountains are not as well developed to the north and west, and it appears they were simply not raised as high in these regions by the Imbrium impact.
It is surrounded from the northeast to the southwest by the Montes Jura range.
The protruding part of the range at the southwest end is named Promontorium Heraclides, while that at the northeast end is called Promontorium Laplace.

 Lunar observing log: Overview of a 9-day-old Moon, March 30th, 2004
South of Plato, in Mare Imbrium, several mountains can be detected, Mons Pico and Montes Teneriffe among them (Rukl 11).
Across Mare Imbrium, on the southern edge, just behind the Montes Carpatus, lies another big crater near the terminator, Copernicus (Rukl 31).
If you go further to the south from Copernicus to the next crater visible on the terminator (Bullialdus), you will be crossing three Mares, Mare Insulanum (Rukl 31/42), Mare Cognitum (Rukl 42) and finally Mare Nubium (Rukl 53/54).

 Carpathian Mountains (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In Late Roman documents, the Eastern Carpathian Mountains appeared as Montes Sarmatici, while the Western Carpathian Mountains were called Carpates.
In the Scandinavian Hervarar saga, which deals with ancient Germanic legends about battles between Goths and Huns, the Name Karpates appears in a predictable Germanic form: Harvaða fjöllum (see Grimm's law).
They begin on the Danube near Bratislava, surround Transcarpathia and Transylvania in a large semicircle, the concavity of which is towards the south-west, and end on the Danube near Or&351;ova, Romania.

 Akis | | Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
There are three primary peaks in this formation, which rise to altitudes of 1.0-1.4 km above the surface.
To the east of this rise is Euler crater, and to the southeast is an area of rugged ground that reaches the Montes Carpatus range.
The Carpatus mountain range forms the southwest boundary of the Mare Imbrium.

 Observing The Sky » Moon: Day 9 - “Far North”
Through the telescope, you can see the lunar terminator at 28 degrees west longitude now (10:15pm CST).
So, the Montes Carpatus and the Montes Riphaeus are emerging into sunlight rugged with a maximum of relief.
Sunlight is barely catching the top of the rim of crater Euler, and the elevated rim of crater Lansberg casts an inky shadow that connects to the terminator.
