Titanium Moon
From bottom to top, dark titanium rich lava in the Sea of Fertility then the diamond shaped patch is the Marsh of Sleep. Small bright crater Proclus is thought to be a recent impact crater and has thrown out bright ejecta that is much lighter than the surrounding ancient weathered rock. Above is the rather hexagonal Mare Crisium.
Proclus is 27km across to give you scale. Very approximately, it is 14 arcseconds across assuming the Moon has a diameter of 3475km = 30 arcminutes.
