Description

The 18th goal, Mare Serenitatis dark edges, is a distinctive lunar feature that is included in the Lunar 100. Mare Serenitatis is a large lunar mare or volcanic plain, and its dark edges refer to the darker, irregular-shaped patches that surround its perimeter. These dark edges are believed to be formed by basaltic lava flows that filled in the low-lying areas around the mare.
