From Sea To Shining Sea

LPOD-Apr5-14.jpg

image by Manolo Rodriguez, Seville, Spain

This excellent image is from Manolo Rodriguez who writes: "The picture shows the progress of the terminator on the seas of the lunar east. It is an area which by its vastness and great desolation invites a visual overflight tour."

I like this image as it shows the terminator just running through the east of a line of Maria from Frigoris in the north to Nectaris in the south showing some of the wrinkle ridges (mare ridges), rilles and small craters that show up at these low sun angles. Magnificent Desolation as Buzz Aldrin so aptly described the Moon.
