070 - The "Orientale" basin
|
Mosaic of more than 2000 Clementine (750-nanometers) images, showing the Orientale Basin of the Moon at full resolution of about 250 mt per pixel. The Orientale Basin is about 930 Km in diameter and is only partly filled by dark, mare lava.
The relative paucity of mare basalt fill, coupled with the young age and topographic freshness of the basin, makes this feature the archetypal lunar multiring basin.
