The Moon - 2022-08-03 01:09 UTC - Dorsa Smirnov

Dorsa Smirnov is the sinuous ripple ridge that horizontally bisects the image. The sun has just risen over this easter Mare Serenitatis scene. Crater Pilinus anchors the dorsa at the left end, and Crater Posidonius is at the right end. Lacus Somnorium lies below Posidonius in the lower left corner of the image. (A. Ruki 14, 15, 24)
