A region rich in Domes!

I believe this is one of the lunar regions where the largest number of Domes per km ² can be found. In this photo just stated some more easily visible, but the total Domes in this area should easily get home to find the hundred and some just look more calmly.

Dome (Dome / Dome) - Formation volcanic usually not very high with one or more holes in the top, but they are not always present. Generally are located near edges of Mary. The best place to try and find these domes near the terminator zone and when the sun is low in the lunar horizon. Instruments of larger diameters are recommended for your observation.

When the time-scale volcanism decreased, smaller volcanic vents give rise to a variety of different formations or low hills and

round called "domes" typically has a few hundred feet tall and a base of several kilometers; they are remnants of ancient lunar volcanoes, and tiny craterletas their apexes represent volcanic vents. Some of these domes may have been built by the accumulation of lava, (while cooled) that burst and flowed through some opening.

West of Copernicus can be found the location of the best volcanic domes on the Moon A group of six of them are located

north of the crater Hortensius (circle in the picture) and another group of 12 domes around the north of the crater Milichius.

Intermittent eruptions of volcanic ash and pyroclastic deposits of materials produced steep volcanic cones. The lava of low viscosity, secured by very narrow volcanic vents, can produce fire sources, and successive explosive eruptions are capable of building fully volcanic cones

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
