Range :  220,000 mi. (left)/350,000 mi. (right) These pictures of the Moon were taken by the Galileo spacecraft.  Image on the right shows the dark Oceanus Procellarum in the upper center, with Mare Imbrium above it and the smaller circular Mare Humorum below.  The Orientale Basin, with a small mare in its center, is on the lower left near the limb or edge.  Between stretches the cratered highland terrain, with scattered bright young craters on highlands and maria alike.  The left image shows the globe of the Moon rotated, putting Mare Imbrium on the eastern limb and moving the Orientale Basin almost to the center.  The extent of the cratered highlands on tghe far side is very apparent.,  At lower left, near the limb, is the South-Pole-Aitken basin, similar to Orientale but very much older and some 1,200 miles in diameter.  This feature was previously known as a large depression in the southern far side; this image shows its Orientale-like structure and darkness relative to surrounding highlands. ARC-1990-A91-2011

S90-55753 (9 Dec. 1990) --- This color image of the Moon was taken by the Galileo spacecraft at 9:25 a.m. (PST) December 9, 1990, at a range of about 350,000 miles. The color composite uses monochrome images ta... More

Range :  350,000 miles (JPL Ref: P-37329) This image of the western hemisphere of the Moon was taken through a green filter by Galileo at 9:35 am PST.  In the center is the Orientale Basin, 600 miles in diameter, formed about 3.8 billion years ago by the impact of an streroid-size body.  Orientale's dark center is a small mare.  To the right is the lunar near side with the great, dark Oceanus Procellarum above and the small, circular, dark Mare Humorum Below.  Maria are broad plains formed mostly over 3 billion years ago as vast bassaltic lava flows.  To the left is the lunar far side with fewer maria, but, at lower left, the South-Pole-Aitken basin, about 1200 miles in diameter, which resemble Orientale but is much older and more weathered and battered by cratering.  The intervening cratered highlands of both sides, as well as the maria, are dotted with bright, young craters.  This image was 'reprojected' so as to center visibility of small features.
