  • Apollo 15's oblique south-looking orbital Fairchild metric/mapping camera frame AS15-M-2498 shows much of Lacus Solitudinis's southern half at the foreground (the dark region nearby).
  • Lacus Solitudinis is also recognizable in the series of TEC-photographs made during Apollo 17 (A17 Revolution TE).

Additional Information

  • Lacus Solitudinis and nearby crater Bowditch are described and depicted in APOLLO OVER THE MOON: A VIEW FROM ORBIT, Chapter 7: Unusual Features (Part 1), Figure 230.


Nomenclature

  • "Lake of Solitude".
  • The name Lacus Solitudinis sounds a bit like Palus Solitatis, which could have been the official name of the low-albedo region near crater Andersson, at centre of the Mendel-Rydberg Basin. Unfortunately, this name was not approved by the IAU. See page Luna Incognita.
