Sinus Iridum

sinus Iridum

Sinus ( Bays '' or '' Small Plain ) - Small gulf, narrow mouth , which extends into the interior . Ex Sinus Iridum (image below )

Sinus Iridum , around half its crater and the Jura Mountains , is one of the favorite targets of all lunar observers .

The mountains always seem to catch the light in a special way , and in the best lighting has a very interesting contrast blending the brightness to darkness on both sides . The low sun across the floor is something unusual , and here each small crater stands out as a ring of light . The low lighting also emphasizes the sea and the Alps . There seems to be two families of peaks and most parallel to the coast of the Mare Imbrium .

The dorsas ( peculiar sinuous ridges low ) become very prominent and easily visible on the flat floor of the bay .

Two beautiful craters embedded in Montes Juras stand out easily ( Bianchini and Sharp ) deserve a note part . The Promotorium Laplace and Heraclides move out to sea giving this training a unique feature that has no equal on the Moon

An area worthy of further study and photographed !

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.
