I created this moon globe from a graphic at NatGeo. This names the features on the moon’s surface and has tiny flags representing the manned Apollo landings and the unmanned USA Surveyor, USSR Luna & Chinese Chang’e landings. See the second image for the list also from NatGeo. Here’s their description of the moon:
“Likely born from a fiery collision between Earth and a Mars-size planet, the moon was once a quivering mass of magma. Over eons, it solidified into the orb we see today. Whether crescent, half, or full, the moon keeps one face perpetually pointed toward Earth. Its near-side complexion is a mottled mix of dark patches—the sites of ancient lava seas—and gleaming, cratered landscapes. The lunar far side is completely different, with a mix of highlands and complex terrains.
The moon has been known throughout recorded history. The moon’s largest features are named using Latin terms describing large bodies of water.”
