SECTION DESCRIPTION
The southern part of Mare Imbrium, bordered by the Carpathian Mountains
(See section 31). A complex pattern of bright rays in this area originate
from the crater Copernicus. Interesting objects for observation include
a crater chain north of crater Stadius M at the bottom right of the map, and
the "ghost" crater Lambert R, visible only when very close to the terminator.
Refer to your copy of the Antonin Rukl lunar atlas chart, page 67.
