Directory - Section 53

Updated: Sept 7, 2011
BRIEF DESCRIPTION

The western part of Mare Nubium with the prominent Bullialdus, which is one of the most attractive lunar craters. Its diameter is 63 km (37 miles). 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. Refer to your copy of the Antonin Rukl lunar atlas, page 133.

Since many EBTI's are not kept long on the internet is best to use Google for these images.
