This is a lemon-shaped waning gibbous moon with the age of around 19. In this phase, the terminator positions around three vast lunar seas in eastern region, i.e., Serenitatis, MARE, Tranquillitatis, MARE, and Nectaris, MARE. These seas include various isolated craters and mountain ranges; we have plenty of interesting scenic spots.
