Nearside Named Features

  • Amundsen
  • Asclepi (Van Langren's Caleni).

  • Baco
  • Boguslawsky
  • Chandrayaan-2's possible landingsite between Manzinus C and Simpelius N, see: http://bit.ly/2E9fOg5

  • Mutus (Van Langren's Casimiri Pol. P.).
  • Mutus-Vlacq Basin (an unofficial name) (see also Rukl Zone 75).

Farside Named Features

(The following features are not formally included in the present Rükl rectangle, but they are adjacent to it and their centers are less than 10° beyond the mean limb -- so they may be seen here in whole or in part with a favorable libration)

Additional Information


Visibility of the southern part of the farside's Southpole-Aitken Basin

When the libration is favourable for the limb regions near the southpole, something of the farside's Southpole-Aitken Basin could be seen as a system of parallel looking layers between the southern craters. These layers are segments of the southernmost (and earth-faced) part of this giant basin. - DannyCaes Oct 13, 2015
