Wow!

A few weeks ago LPOD featured images of the infrequently documented Eddington area. Now Mario astounds with this magnificent panorama
of the same region along the western margin of Oceanus Procellarum. Seleucus (left foreground) is especially amazing, with its very sharply
defined edge of its glacis (continuous ejecta deposit). The crater almost looks like it was cut from another image and pasted here. The glacis
of Briggs, about the same diameter at upper right, is much less regular with mare lavas having embayed low spots between ridges. I am
working on a proposal due Friday so will let you explore more of this wondrous scene yourself.
