BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The western limb of the Moon and western edge of Oceanus Procellarum. The observer using a large telescope will be attracted by the clefts in the floor of Hevelius. Here also lies the unique formation Reiner Gamma. The region also contains the landing site of the probe Luna 9 (which made the first soft-landing on the Moon). Refer to your copy of the Antonin Rukl lunar atlas chart, page 83.
