The Montes Haemus (Haemus Mountains)

The Montes Haemus (Haemus Mountains) at the southwestern highland edge of the Mare Serenitatis Basin. The darker and smoother Mare Serenitatis is visible in the top right. The large crater at the bottom right is Sulpicius Gallus, named after a Roman astronomer, and is 7.5 miles (12km) in diameter. Several rilles are present along the Mare Serenitatis floor, and lie parallel to the mountains. In the highlands some grooves can just be seen. The grooves may be gouges from large block-like material thrown out from the Imbrium impact basin just beyond the top left of this picture. Several small volcanic domes are visible on the plains.
