The map was based on photographs taken using large Earth-based telescopes. The map above, based on an LROC global image mosaic, is a near-copy of that historic map. Red dots represent the five candidate Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 landing sites as of February 1968. Yellow circles represent the final three Apollo 11 target sites. The green circle marks Site 2, the Apollo 11 prime site in Mare Tranquillitatis, where the Lunar Module Eagle actually landed [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 09 Aug 2019 Hawke Crater Hawke crater, 13.2 km wide, is noticeably tilted because the impactor - an asteroid or a comet - that excavated it struck the sloping inner wall of Grotrian crater. Visible are light-colored rays that attest to the crater's youth, as well as subtle signs of darker impact melt. Image width is about 20 km, -66.61 lat, 128.65 lon. Image number M1258054744. [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University] Published on 03 May 2018 Color of the Lassell Massif A shock of color on the Moon! The Lassell Massif (a so-called "red spot") in Mare Nubium appears orange in the center of this WAC color composite image. The image was derived by assigning red to 689 nm, green to 415 nm, and blue to 321 nm images. The image was enlarged by a factor of two for viewing here (the original data was sampled to 400 m per pixel); north is up. Image is 190 km across. [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].

The large tan area in the upper right is the Sahara desert, and just beyond is Saudia Arabia. The Atlantic and Pacific coasts of South America are visible to the left.
