The Moon - 2022-11-04 01:30 UTC - Kies Pi Complex
The moonscape in this image is located at the western edge of Mare Nubium. Crater Kies Pi lis the flooded crater near image center. Dome Kies Pi, indicated by the arrow, lies just west of its namesake crater.
The Dome is a shield volcano that is approximately ten kilometer in diameter, and it rises about 150 meters above the surrounding mare floor. The Dome is only visible in the lunar sunrise, as seen in this image, or in the lunar sunset. The Dome "disappears" when it ceases to cast any shadow as the Sun ascends above the horizon.
