BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The western part of Mare Nubium with the prominent Bullialdus, which is one of the most attractive lunar craters. Other interesting objects include an elevated "causeway" across the valley Bullialdus W close to the crater Agatharchides O, a typical lunar dome Kies Pi, and the prominent rilles Rimae Hippalus and Rima Hesiodus.
