Mons Gruithuisen -
Moon age 11.5 days (83 %)
The Gruithuisen domes Gamma and Delta are located north of the crater Gruithuisen (19 km). They are large and probably intrusive structures. They are the highest volcanic structures. Gruithuisen Gamma has a diameter of 19 km and reaches a height of 1 750 meters above the surrounding level. Gruithuisen Delta is with 27 km significantly larger and reaches a height of 1 900 meters. Both structures are so large that the Celestron 14 shows some structures on both domes. In the image also visible is the Rima Deslisle, which is just 500 meters wide at its narrowest point. |

Putative domes north of Tobias
Mayer - Moon age
10.6 days (74 %) The next three images show the putative volcanic plateaus north of Tobias Mayer near the dome fields of Milichius and Hortensius. The eastern plateaus show an intrusive structure with rilles that western rather an effusive structure with an elongated summit vent. |
