| | 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). |
