Artist's Description
The lunar landscape is black and white. Early NASA photographs have a sepia
tone because they used color film. Every time I photograph the moon reveals new secrets. The terminator (shadow) line moves slowly across the moon showing new details. This shadow line on any given night will not be the same for another 18 years. The Sea of Crises, also known as Mare Crisium is 345 miles in diameter. It has a very flat floor, with a ring of wrinkled ridges toward its outer boundaries. Ghost craters (craters that have largely been buried under deposits of other material), are located to the south. The mare has many notable features in and around it. The cape-like feature protruding into the southeast of the mare is Promontorium Agarum. On the western rim of the mare is the palimpsest Yerkes.
