| WOMAN IN THE MOON |
| There is a woman in the moon but many people have never seen her. She is much more obvious than the 'Man In The Moon'. Seen in profile, the appearance of 'The Woman In The Moon' changes with varying light. Try using binoculars to look for her between the first quarter and the full moon. |
 |
| Numerous maria, ancient lava flows of dark basalt, help to outline 'The Woman In The Moon'. When these dark areas were first viewed with optical devices, observers mistook them for large areas of water. |
| Her hair is formed by: |
| 1. Sea Of Serenity ( Mare Serenitatis) 2. Sea Of Tranquillity ( Mare Tranquillitatis) This 'sea' was the location of the first human visit to the moon. In 1969 Apollo 11 landed just in front of the lady's ear. 4. Sea Of Nectar ( Mare Nectaris) Other features are: 5. Sea Of Vapor (Mare Vaporum) her eye. 6. Seething Bay ( Sinus Aestuum) her nose. 7. Central Bay (Sinus Medii) her mouth. 8. Sea Of Clouds ( Mare Nubium) is under her chin. 9. Tycho is a crater that is sometimes a gem on a chain of craters around the neck of 'The Woman In The Moon'. |
