KEPLER

The dark background of Mare Insularum contrasts with bright ray systems from two main centers: the crater Copernicus (in the east) and, especially, the crater Kepler that dominates this area. Perhaps the best-known group of lunar domes is that situated north of the crater Hortensius. Other domes that can be seen through even quite a small telescope lie to the west of the crater Milichius and to the south of the crater T. Mayer (see map 19).
