BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The SE limb of the Moon. The numerous dark patches on the limb itself edge form Mare Australe. M. Australe, as determined from photographs by the Lunar Orbiters, is circular with a diameter of about 900 km. From an evolutionary point of view it is evidently a very old lunar basin. Refer to your copy of the Antonin Rukl lunar atlas chart, page 179.
