The Moon - 2022-11-04 01:32 UTC - North Polar Region

The lunar terminator, the division between daylight and darkness enters the frame from left center and ascends to a peak. The lunar limb, where the sunlit moon meets the darkness of space, enters the frame from right center and meets the terminator at the peak. The region around the intersection of the terminator and the limb is the north polar region.

 

Craters named Peary and Byrd, terrestrial polar explorers, occupy this region. Mare Frigoris is the flat, dark plain that spans the lower right corner of the image.
