BESSEL

The eastern part of Mare Serenitatis is intersected in many places by mare ridges, the largest of which approximately follows the line of the meridian 25şE and has a serpentine shape (formerly called Serpentine Ridge). The edge of Mare Serenitatis has a dark border and a series of shallow rilles. The summit of Posidonius Gamma (old name) has a crater 2 km in diameter.
