Astronauts

Mare Chrisium is in the upper left of the image, just below which is Mare Fecunditatis. Adjacent and to the right is Mare Tranquillitatis (The Sea of Tranquility - Apollo 11 landing site), then moving up and to the right is Mare Serenitatis (The Sea of Serenity). The Apollo 17 landing site is in the brighter cratered area to the left of Mare Serenitatis where it joins with Mare Tranquillitatis.

The relatively bright white area towards the lower left of the image is the 82-mile (132-km) wide crater "Langrenus". Although not visible in this image, Langrenus features fine-terraced walls and a half mile high central mountain peak.
