ARAGO
The western part of Mare Tranquilitatis. Note the remarkable system of rilles running down the western edge of the mare, and the prominent network of mare ridges surrounding the formation Lamont. Also of interest are the large domes Arago Alpha and Beta, and a group of four small domes northwest of Arago Alpha. This area contains the crash-landing sites of Ranger 6 and Ranger 8; also the soft-landing sites of Surveyor 5 and the Apollo 11 mission.
