PTOLEMAEUS

The central part of the near side of the Moon, with large craters. The dark surface of Sinus Medii, bordered by rilles, extends into this area from the north. This region, like that shown on map 43, contains a structure of valleys and lineaments radiating from Imbrium basin. The floor of the crater Alphonsus was the crash-landing site of the probe Ranger 9.
