Moon - 2022-11-04-0138_1-U- Montes Apenninus

Montes Apenninus enters the frame just below center left and swoops upward and rightward toward upper left of the frame. Nestled among the center of this range is the Apollo 15 landing site.

 

The range is surrounded by dark mare. Dominating the left is Mare Serenitatis. Bottom center is Mare Vaporum. In the lower left corner is Sinus Aestuum. And upper right is Mare Imbrium.

 

Crater Eratosthenes terminates the left end of the range, and nearby Crater Copernicus' ejecta rays come in from the lower left edge.

 

The trio of prominent craters at top center, from largest to smallest, are Archimedes, Aristillus, and Autolycus.
