BTW, when looking up the Sea of Rains and Montes Spitzbergen I saw that just a little to the SE of these mountains, near the Archimedes crater, Lunik 2 hit the moon. This was the first (known) satellite to achieve this feat and amazingly, it was almost 50 years ago this Sept. (see the Wikipedia entry at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunik_2). It truly is an historic area, both geologically and culturally!

Thanks for some wonderful astronomy fun!

"Time to slip into the nightâ€¦ Together."

I think this is the single best thing I've ever read on UT.
