BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The eastern part of Mare Crisium and eastern margin of the Moon. Convenient points of orientation are the craters Eimmart, Alhazen and Plutarch. During a favorable libration the crater Goddard, with its dark floor, and the Mare Marginis are clearly visible. Refer to your copy of the Antonin Rukl lunar atlas chart, page 81.
