BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The south-western limb of the Moon. This area displays a rich system
of radial mountain ranges and valleys, which are directed towards the center
of the basin of Mare Orientale, e.g. Vallis Bouvard, Vallis Inghirami and
Vallis Baade. However, the first of these is difficult to observe from
the Earth. Refer to your copy of the Antonin Rukl lunar atlas chart, page
149.
