Moontastic!
Since it was half moon and planets were ideally positioned today, I decided to take out the big boy and have some fun with planetary imaging. I took this mosaic of a portion of the moon that I find very interesting. This circular chain of mountains surrounds Mare Imbrium. The mountains to the Rights are called the Appenins, while the ones on the left are the Alps, of course. π There is even the Mont Blanc! Apollo 15 also landed in the area (very close to the tip of the Appenins chain in 1971.
