Clementine The large circular crater at bottom middle is Posidonius. Lacus Somniorum consists of the two patches of relatively light mare above it, to the left and the right. The darker mare to the lower left is part of Mare Serenitatis. The finger of dark mare intruding into Lacus Somniorum from the left (to the northwest of Posidonius) falls in a region where the IAU definitions of Lacus Somniorum and Mare Serenitatis overlap, at least based on their stated positions and diameters.
