Lunar Vistas

Updated April 29, 2007

Our nearest celestial neighbor is an interesting and challenging object.  Interesting because no two views are ever exactly the same and challenging because lunar vistas are best seen when the sun angle is correct, often creating an imaging challenge. Also, please study Wargentin, a fascinating lunar plateau.
