Mare Nubium (Latin nūbium , the "sea of clouds") is a lunar mare in the Nubium basin on the Moon's near side. The mare is located just to the southeast of Oceanus Procellarum .
Formation [ edit ]
The basin containing Mare Nubium is believed to have been part of the Pre-Nectarian system.[3] Imbrian and Eratosthenian age.[4]
Bullialdus crater, a prominent feature on the west side of the mare, is of Eratosthenian age.[5] Pitatus on the southern margin and Guericke bounding the mare to the north. Opelt , Gould , Kies , Nicollet , Wolf , Birt , and Rupes Recta (the Straight Wall) lie within the mare.
Like most of the other maria on the Moon, Mare Nubium was named by Giovanni Riccioli , whose 1651 nomenclature system has become standardized.[6] William Gilbert had included it among the Continens Meridionalis ("Southern Continent") in his map of c [7] Michael van Langren had labelled it the Mare Borbonicum (after the House of Bourbon ) in his 1645 map.[8]
Exploration [ edit ]
The first released images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2009 were of the lunar highlands 200 km south of Mare Nubium.[9]
In September 2013, Spanish astronomers observed and recorded an impact event when a large rock hit the lunar surface in Mare Nubium.[10]
