Aristarchus

ARISTARCHUS
Directory - Section 18

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
In this part of Oceanus Procellarum there are exceptionally interesting formations. These include Schroters Valley, which is visible through even quite a small telescope, and the long sinuous rilles Rima Marius and Rima Aristarchus. Herodotus Omega is a lunar dome and numerous domes can be found in the vicinity of crater Marius. This area is dominated by the crater Aristarchus. Refer to your Antonin Rukl lunar atlas chart, page 63.
