Mare Orientale
Mare Orientale, located on the Moon's western edge, is a striking multi-ring impact basin. Its target-ring bull's-eye shape is difficult to see from Earth. This mosaic, based on images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's Wide Angle Camera, reveals intriguing details. The basin is only partially flooded by lava, making its concentric rings clearly visible.
