Jura, Montes & Promontorium Laplace
VTM F2 F3 | Rukl-2 Rukl-10
When the lighting is right the mountain range bordering Sinus Iridum, Montes Jura comes alive, with the mountain massif at the tip of Promontorium Laplace (lower centre) casting a triangular shadow. The highest peaks in this range rise up over 6 km above the basaltic plain. I really like the isolated mountain range to the RHS, Montes Recti, which extends for 90 km and has a width of 20 km. A We are observing the hills obliquely, giving a nice perspective. They rise to a modest 1.8 km above the surrounding plain. The prominent crater on the lower LHS is Bianchini (38 km). The heavily degraded crater just South of centre is Maupertuis (46 km).
