Scence is 108 km across and centered at 6.6° N, 300.6° E in Oceanus Procellarum. [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 03 May 2016 Reiner Gamma: Swirling in Mystery Reiner Gamma lunar swirl (7.5° N, 301.0°E); NAC controlled mosaic containing images, M1139307518L/R, M1139300406L/R, M1139286182L/R, M1139293294L/R, and M1108661104R [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 26 May 2022 Lunar Swirls at the Mare Ingenii Constellation Region of Interest Close-up image of the Mare Ingenii Constellation region of interest. Mare Ingenii is one of the few mare basalt deposits on the farside of the Moon and it contains rare lunar swirls. Image width is 800 meters [LROC-NAC M105795162R; NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University]. Published on 25 May 2010 The Swirls of Mare Ingenii An oblique view of Mare Ingenii and the swirl that marks its floor. Scene is approximately 15 km across (subsampled from the native resolution); NAC images M191830503L,R [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].

Published on 09 Jan 2015 Deflector Shields Up! Part of the westernmost swirl feature in Mare Marginis. This closeup of the center of the anaglyph strip below highlights an area little more than five kilometers wide. Bright swirl areas appeared "painted on" the landscape.
